Relative Neighborhood Density Grid

This grid holds values for the Relative Neighborhood Density (Ω ) statistic as calculated by the Relative Neighborhood Density Calculator behavior. The grid holds an Ω value for each distance increment for each species. This can be a great many values. The grid cell resolution is always set to one cell covering the entire plot. You cannot change this.

Data in the grid

Data member nameDescription
Max DistanceMaximum distance to which to calculate Ω , in meters. Including this in the output is not necessary but will improve the SORTIE graphing capability.
Distance IncHow often to calculate Ω , in meters. Including this in the output is not necessary but will improve the SORTIE graphing capability.
Species X Dist Y Omega ValueThe Ω value for Species X at the Yth distance increment. This is not necessarily the distance in meters.
