A test for spatial clustering in the presence of auxiliary informationA technique is proposed to test for the presence of clusters when both spatial and auxiliary information is available. The test is based on randomizing the auxiliary information over the spatial locations. It requires no model assumptions (such as a Poisson process) for the spatial distribution. The procedure may be used to screen data for possible clustering.
