Spatial statistics

the ratio of observed mean nearest-neighbour distance to that expected under randomness, indicating clustering or regularity.

In spatial statistics, nearest neighbor index refers to the ratio of observed mean nearest-neighbour distance to that expected under randomness, indicating clustering or regularity. This meaning comes from Clark (1954) in Ecology.[1]
