Spatial analysis code for SPARC Hackathon

Spat-An-App!

This is a Spatial Anatomy Application that aims to project image data into a Spatial Projection space based on Point pattern analysis.

Requirements: R and Python

Goals: Quantify the spatial organization of cells

Point Pattern Analysis

• Study of the spatial arrangements of points in 2-dimensional space
• The null model for point patterns is complete spatial randomness modeled as a Poisson process in R^

The functions for point pattern analysis used in this app include: Ripley's K-function, and its normalized form, the L function. J-function comparing NN-distances and empty space distances.

The docker image with the code includes the R code and Python application for embedding in other applications.
