1. A computer implemented method for analyzing spatial point patterns in a region comprising: generating a real data point set with a microscope; wherein the real point set comprises a distribution of cell events; receiving the real data 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 real data score for each element of the plurality of elements by weighting the real data 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; comparing, for each element of the plurality of elements, the first real data score to the second score; displaying the results of the comparison on a display screen.
