Expert tag

I have added this tag for two reasons. The context/assumptions are poorly defined ...is it being assumed that the distribution is spatially uniform as nothing here precludes non-uniform distributions (the actual contexts of the equations are poorly specified)? Secondly, if non-uniform distributions are excluded then various tests against a uniform or non-clustered non-hypothesis are available which could be linked or outlined.

The tag was removed after improving the question of whether non-uniform distributions were included. I have reapplied it, as the question of useful information about testing the "complete spatial randomness" model is still open. Melcombe (talk) 09:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree.

A poorly written article. LoneRubberDragon (talk) 09:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reference to random numbers articles in end-references, such as the simplest of:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_randomness

And spatial randomness need not be added, as it is not clear what you are referring to, other than random numbers on a sample space. And CLEARLY a random distribution (statistical randomness) system will produce a random space on sampling, in zero, one, two, through N dimensions. And "complete" is a dangerous word to use because complete is a mathematical word used of systems, and can easily be confused. Noone in science math lingustics would ever use that word this way. So complete spatial randomness sounds like a specific concept, that you end up not actually describing, because the language of science and math is very specific. I understand what you mean (and see the redundancy and incompleteness causing ineffectiveness of the article word use), exactly, but the layman reader will often be misled by such articles, best left as user talk pages. I may be the only reader who can read you and understand you, in this manner, because I AM also a linguist. LoneRubberDragon (talk) 09:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The dangers of your article dialect reference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completeness

What you refer to specifically, as a possible synonymous industiral term, is already covered in Wide Sense Stationary processes (WSS) process, which cover 1-D, 2-D, N-D processes. LoneRubberDragon (talk) 10:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_process

But lacking cross references to standard terminology, to link your specific synonymous term, makes it difficult for layman to understand, for synonymous and standard terminology. This is pedagogically suspect. I understand exactly what you mean, but that is just myself, who is a well read "Dragon". Referenceless articles like this actually hurt my well-read eyes.
