The
sapopackage provides a Monte Carlo test for evaluating spatial association between polygons. For reproducibility, set a seed before using the functions.
This vignette illustrates the functionality of the sapo
package. sapo, which is Portuguese for “toad,” stands for
“Spatial Association Between
Polygons”. This package enables you to test whether two
types of polygons are spatially associated. This raises two key
questions: 1) What do these “polygon types” represent? and 2) What
constitutes spatial association?
Polygons can represent various spatial entities. In ecology, for
instance, polygons might represent ecological patches (McGarigal 2013), animal home ranges, or forest
canopy gaps. It’s often important to determine if two types of spatial
phenomena (like those mentioned above) tend to attract or repel each
other. Conditional Monte Carlo (MC) hypothesis tests (Godoy, Assunção, and Butler 2022) offer a way
to test these hypotheses. The cmc_psat function
(conditional MC polygon association test) implements these methods. All
methods are based on conditional MC simulation, generating spatial
patterns that assume spatial independence (using an adaptation of the
toroidal shift1) while preserving the observed marginal
spatial structures.
To illustrate the package’s functionality, consider two simulated
polygon types, poly1 and poly2, loaded below
as sf objects. These will represent two distinct spatial
features. Our goal is to test whether they are spatially
independent.

The cmc_psat function requires that its first two
arguments, p1 and p2, are sf
objects. Other important arguments include:
n_sim (default = 499): An integer specifying the
number of conditional MC simulations under the null hypothesis of
spatial independence.
alpha (default = 0.05): A real number (between 0 and
1) indicating the significance level for the hypothesis test.
For a deeper understanding of the remaining arguments, refer to Godoy, Assunção, and Butler (2022), which provides a comprehensive explanation of the method. The default argument values generally optimize the test’s power and type I error rate.
The code below tests whether poly1 and
poly2 are spatially independent. In essence, it
assesses whether the presence of a type 2 polygon affects the likelihood
of observing a type 1 polygon.

If the analysis suggests that the polygons are not spatially independent, a descriptive analysis can be performed using a generalization of the \(H_{12}\) function (typically \(K_{12}\) or \(L_{12}\), with the latter being the package default) used for analyzing spatial point patterns.
We’ll now create point-wise confidence bands based on the \(L_{12}\) null hypothesis. These bands will be plotted against the \(L_{12}\) function calculated from the real data. A significant result with the black curve (representing the real data) below the envelope suggests that the two polygon types repel each other. Conversely, if the black curve is above the envelope, it indicates attraction. Remember that these envelopes are for descriptive analysis, not inference. The p-value determines whether to reject the hypothesis of spatial independence.
