Second-order Analysis of Spatial Point Patterns

Overview

In this exercise, we will gain hands-on experience on using appropriate R functions to analyse spatial point events. The case study aims to discover the spatial point processes of childecare centres in Singapore.

The research questions

The specific questions we would like to answer are as follows: 1. Are the childcare centre centres in a planning area randomly distributed? 2. If the answer is not, then the next logical question is where are the locations with higher concentration of childcare centres?

The data

To provide answers to the questions above, two data sets will be used. They are: 1. Childcare centre: this data is downloaded from www.data.gov.sg. The original data is in KML format. It has been coverted into ESRI shapefile format. 2. URA Planning Subzone boundary data (i.e. MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL). It is in ESRI shapefile format.

Import packages

for (p in packages){
if(!require(p, character.only = T)){
install.packages(p)
}
library(p,character.only = T)
}

Spatial Data Wrangling

Importing the spatial data

childcare <- readOGR(dsn = "data", layer="CHILDCARE")
## OGR data source with driver: ESRI Shapefile 
## Source: "/Users/theodora/Desktop/IS415/Lesson 8/data", layer: "CHILDCARE"
## with 1312 features
## It has 18 fields
mpsz = readOGR(dsn = "data", layer="MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL")
## OGR data source with driver: ESRI Shapefile 
## Source: "/Users/theodora/Desktop/IS415/Lesson 8/data", layer: "MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL"
## with 323 features
## It has 15 fields

Converting the spatial point data frame into generic sp format

spatstat requires the analytical data in ppp object form. There is no direct way to convert a SpatialDataFrame into ppp object. We need to convert the SpatialDataFrame into Spatial object first.

The codes below will convert the SpatialPoint and SpatialPolygon data frame into generic spatialpoints and spatialpolygons objects.

childcare_sp <- as(childcare, "SpatialPoints")

Converting generic sp format into spatstat’s ppp format

Now, we will use as.ppp() function to convert the spatial data into spatstat’s ppp object format

childcare_ppp <- as(childcare_sp, "ppp")

Notice that there are nomore duplicated point events in childcare_ppp_u object.

Warning: In practice, it is not advisible to merely dropping the duplicated point events. We should study the context carefully. A better approach is to use the jittering approach discussed in previous hands-on exercise to address the issue.

The code chunk below implements the jittering approach

childcare_ppp_jit <- rjitter(childcare_ppp, retry=TRUE, nsim=1, drop=TRUE)

To ensure all duplicate points are jittered

pg = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "PUNGGOL",]
tm = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "TAMPINES",]
ck = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "CHOA CHU KANG",]
jw = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "JURONG WEST",]

Plotting target planning areas

par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(pg)
plot(tm)
plot(ck)
plot(jw)

Converting the spatial point data frame into generic sp format

Convert these SpatialPolygonDataFrame into generic spatialpolygons objects

childcare_sp = as(childcare, "SpatialPoints")
pg_sp = as(pg, "SpatialPolygons")
tm_sp = as(tm, "SpatialPolygons")
ck_sp = as(ck, "SpatialPolygons")
jw_sp = as(jw, "SpatialPolygons")

Creating owin object

Convert these SpatialPolygons objects into owin objects that is required by spatstat.

pg_owin = as(pg_sp, "owin")
tm_owin = as(tm_sp, "owin")
ck_owin = as(ck_sp, "owin")
jw_owin = as(jw_sp, "owin")

Combining childcare points and the study area

Extract childcare that is within the specific region to do our analysis later on.

childcare_pg_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[pg_owin]
childcare_tm_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[tm_owin]
childcare_ck_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[ck_owin]
childcare_jw_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[jw_owin]

Visualising ppp objects

It is a good practice to examine the output ppp objects visually. The code chunk below can be used to plot the ppp objected created in the earlier step

par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(childcare_ck_ppp)
plot(childcare_jw_ppp)
plot(childcare_pg_ppp)
plot(childcare_tm_ppp)

Black line is the observed line, grey line is the 1000th time equation result At the intersection point, when it move outside of the envelop (around 375), anything before the 375 mark, although below red line, it does not have sufficient statistical evidence to reject null hypothesis. –> Conclude that all the spatial point observed between the range 0 to 375 resemble spatial randomness pattern (distributed randomly) But past 375 mark, outside envelop, reject null hypothesis that point events are random (and since below red line, can conclude that the data resembles cluster)
