1. A computer implemented method for analyzing spatial point patterns in a region comprising: receiving a point set; simulating at least one point set within the region using a point process; dividing the region into a plurality of elements; determining a first score for each element of the plurality of elements by weighting the point set within a domain of a predetermined kernel; and determining a second score for each element by weighting the at least one simulated point set within the domain of the predetermined kernel.
