Abstract

First, Boolean cluster fields in Rd with grains being point clusters of several types (random points within a d—ball, random or regular points on a d—sphere, fixed or Poisson distributed number of points) are introduced. Then the formulae for spherical contact distance distribution function, its hazard rate, recluse probability of cluster and the nearest neighbour distance distribution function in such point fields are given. Finally, the statistical testing of cluster fields is briefly covered.

Keywords : Boolean cluster, hazard rate, nearest neighbour distance, recluse probability, spherical contact distance
