Overview
Spatial Point Pattern Analysis is the evaluation of the pattern or distribution, of a set of points on a surface. The point can be location of:
events such as crime, traffic accident and disease onset, or
business services (coffee and fastfood outlets) or facilities such as childcare and eldercare.
Using appropriate functions of spatstat, this hands-on exercise aims to discover the spatial point processes of childecare centres in Singapore.
The specific questions we would like to answer are as follows:
are the childcare centres in Singapore randomly distributed throughout the country?
if the answer is not, then the next logical question is where are the locations with higher concentration of childcare centres?
Installing and Loading Packages
Firstly, the code below will check if pacman has been installed. If it has not been installed, R will download and install it, before activating it for use during this session.
Next, pacman assists us by helping us load R packages that we require, sf, tmap and maptools, spatstat, raster.
pacman::p_load(sf, tmap, maptools, spatstat, raster)The following packages assists us to accomplish the following:
sf helps to import, manage and process vector-based geospatial data in R
tmap provides functions to allow us to plot high quality static or interactive maps using leaflet API
maptoolsI provides us a set of tools for manipulating geographic data
spatstat has a wide range of functions for point pattern analysis
raster reads, writes, manipulates, analyses and model of gridded spatial data (raster)
Data Acquisition
The following public datasets are used:
| Dataset Name | Source |
|---|---|
| Master Plan 2014 Subzone Boundary (Web) (MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL.shp) | data.gov.sg |
| Pre-Schools Location (preschools-location.geojson) | data.gov.sg |
| Coastal Outline (CostalOutline.shp) | Prof Kam - SLA |
Spatial Data Wrangling
Importing Spatial Data
We will use st_read() of sf package to import the three geospatial datasets.

Here, we do not see any anomalies, all the geospatial points are within the map’s context, which means that the reference system and coordinate values are referred to the similar spatial context.
We can also prepare a pin map (interactive) by using the code below
tmap_mode('view') +
tm_shape(childcare_sf) +
tm_dots()Leaflet | Tiles © Esri — Esri, DeLorme, NAVTEQ
From the interactive map above, we can see that tmap is ustilising the leaflet for R API, which allows us to interact, navigate, zoom and query each simple feature. Changing the background of the map is also possible.
After setting the tmap_mode() to view we need to remember to switch it back to plot.
Geospatial Data Wrangling
Converting sf Dataframes to sp’s Spatial* Class
While simple feature data frame is gaining in popularity, many geospatial analysis packages still require the input geospatial data in sp’s Spatial* classes. We will convert the sf data frames to sp’s Spatial* Class below.
childcare <- as_Spatial(childcare_sf)
mpsz <- as_Spatial(mpsz_sf)
sg <- as_Spatial(sg_sf)Now, let’s view the information of the Spatial* classes below:

Converting the Spatial* Class into Generic sp Format
spstat requires the analytical data to be in ppp object form. As there is no direct method to convert Spatial* classes to ppp object, we need to convert the Spatial* classes into an intermediate Spatial object first.
Thecode below converts Spatial* Classes into generic sp objects
childcare_sp <- as(childcare, "SpatialPoints")
sg_sp <- as(sg, "SpatialPolygons")Next, we can check the sp object properties.
childcare_spclass : SpatialPoints

Converting the Generic sp Format into spatstat’s ppp Format
Now, we will use as.ppp() function of spatstat to convert the spatial data into spatstat’s ppp object format.
childcare_ppp <- as(childcare_sp, "ppp")
childcare_pppPlanar point pattern: 1545 points
window: rectangle = [11203.01, 45404.24] x [25667.6, 49300.88] unitsNow, let us plot childcare_ppp and examine the difference
plot(childcare_ppp)
We can take a quick look at the summary statistics of the newly created ppp object by using the code below:
summary(childcare_ppp)Planar point pattern: 1545 points
Average intensity 1.91145e-06 points per square unit
*Pattern contains duplicated points*
Coordinates are given to 3 decimal places
i.e. rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.001 units
Window: rectangle = [11203.01, 45404.24] x [25667.6, 49300.88] units
(34200 x 23630 units)
Window area = 808287000 square unitsNote the warning message about duplicates. The statistical methodology used for spatial points pattern processes is based largely on the assumption that processes are simple, that means that the points cannot be coincident.
Handling duplicated points
We can check the duplication in a ppp object using the code below
any(duplicated(childcare_ppp))[1] TRUETo count the number of coincident points, we can use the multiplicity() function as shown in the code chunk below.

1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 If we want to know how many locations have more than one point event, we can use the code chunk below.
sum(multiplicity(childcare_ppp) > 1)[1] 128The output shows that there are 128 duplicated point events.
To view the locations of the duplicated point events, we can plot the childcare dataset by using the code chunk below.
tmap_mode('view')
tm_shape(childcare) +
tm_dots(alpha = 0.4,
size = 0.05)Leaflet | Tiles © Esri — Esri, DeLorme, NAVTEQ
tmap_mode('plot')From the interactive map above, you can see that the duplicated points have points that are darker in color, as the transparency of 1 point has been set to an alpha of 0.4, two overlapping points will make it more opaque.
There are a few ways to overcome this problem:
Delete the duplicates. However, some useful point events will be lost
jittering. Adds small perturrbations to duplicate points so that they do not occupy the same exact space
Make each point “unique” and then attach duplicates of points to the patterns as marks, as attributes of the points. Then we can use analytical techniques that take into account the marks.
We use the second approach, jittering to manipulate the points below
childcare_ppp_jit <- rjitter(childcare_ppp,
retry = TRUE,
nsim = 1,
drop = TRUE)Now, let’s check the if there are still any duplicated points below
any(duplicated(childcare_ppp_jit))[1] FALSECreating owin object
When analysing spatial point patterns, it is good practice to confine the analysis with a geographical area like Singapore boundary. In spatstat, an object called owin is specially designed to represent this polygonal region.
The code cunk below is used to convert the sg SpatialPolygon object into owin object of spatstat.
sg_owin <- as(sg_sp, "owin")The output object can be displayed by using plot() function.
plot(sg_owin)
and summary() function of Base R.

First-order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis
Kernel Density Estimation
Computing Kernel Density Estimation using Automatic Bandwidth Selection Method
The code below computes a kernel density by using the following configurations of density() of spatstat:
bw.diggle() automatic bandwidth selection method. Other recommended methods include: bw.CvL(), bw.scott() or bw.ppl()
The smoothing kernel used by default is gaussian. Other smoothing methods include: epanechnikov, quartic or disc
The intensity estimate is corrected for edge effect bias by using the method described by Jones and Diggel, default is FALSE.
kde_childcareSG_bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp,
sigma = bw.diggle,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian")The plot() function is then used to display the kernel density derived.
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw)
The density values of the output range from 0 to 0.0000035 which is too small to comprehend as the default unit of measure of svy21 is in metres. As a result, the density values computed is in number of points per square meter.
We can check the bandwidth used to compute the kde layer using the code below.
bw <- bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp)
bw sigma
298.4095 Rescaling KDE Values
Using the rescale() function, we can convert the unit of measurement from metres to kilometres
childcareSG_ppp.km <- rescale(childcareSG_ppp, 1000, "km")Now, we can re-run density() using the rescaled data set and plot the output kde map
kde_childcareSG_bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.diggle,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw)
The kde output image looks identical to the previous version, only the data values in the legend has changed.
Working with Different Automatic Bandwidth Methods
Besides bw.diggle(), there are three other spatstat functions that can be used to determine bandwidth. They are bw.CvL(), bw.scott(), and bw.ppl()
Let us look at the bandwidth returned by the different automatic bandwidth calculation methods below.
bw.CvL(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
4.543278 bw.scott(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma.x sigma.y
2.224898 1.450966 bw.ppl(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
0.3897114 bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
0.2984095 Baddeley et al. suggested the use of bw.ppl() algorithm due to their experience of producing more appropraiate values when pattern consists predominantly of tight clusters. However, if the purpose of one’s study is to detect a single tight cluster in the midst of random noise, bw.diggle() method will be more appropriate.
The code below compares the output of using bw.diggle() and bw.ppl() methods
kde_childcareSG.ppl <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.ppl,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian")
par(mfrow = c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw, main = "bw.diggle")
plot(kde_childcareSG.ppl, main = "bw.ppl")
Working with Different Kernel Methods
By default, the kernel method used in density.ppp() is gaussian. However, there are epanechnikov, quartic and dics.
Here, we will use the code to compute three more KDE using the kernel functions
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.ppl,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Gaussian")
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.ppl,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "epanechnikov"),
main = "Epanechnikov")
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.ppl,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "quartic"),
main = "Quartic")
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.ppl,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "disc"),
main = "Disc")
Fixed and Adaptive KDE
Computing KDE by using Fixed Bandwidth
Next, we can compute a KDE layer by defining a bandwidth of 600 metres. As the unit of measurement of childcareSG_ppp.km object is in kilometres, we use a sigma value of 0.6.
kde_childcareSG_600 <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = 0.6, edge = TRUE, kernel = "gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_600)
Computing KDE by using Adaptive Bandwidth
The fixed bandwidth method is very sensitive to highly skewed distribution of spatial point patterns over geographical units (eg. urban vs rural). One way to overcome the problem is to use adaptive bandwidth.
We can use density.adaptive() to derive adaptive kernel density estimation
kde_childcareSG_adaptive <- adaptive.density(childcareSG_ppp.km, method = "kernel")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive)
We can compare the fixed and adaptive KDE outputs using the code below
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw, main = "Fixed bandwidth")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive, main = "Adaptive bandwidth")
Converting KDE Output into Grid Object
The results are the same, but the conversion allows us to use it for mapping purposes.
gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw <- as.SpatialGridDataFrame.im(kde_childcareSG_bw)
spplot(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)
Converting Gridded Output into Raster
Next, we will convert gridded kernel density objects into RasterLayer object using raster() of the raster object.
kde_childcareSG_bw_raster <- raster(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)We can view the properties of kde_childcareSG_bw_raster RasterLayer
kde_childcareSG_bw_rasterclass : RasterLayer
dimensions : 128, 128, 16384 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 0.4170614, 0.2647348 (x, y)
extent : 2.663926, 56.04779, 16.35798, 50.24403 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
crs : NA
source : memory
names : v
values : -8.476185e-15, 28.51831 (min, max)Note that the CRS property is NA.
Assigning Projection Systems
The code below will be used to include CRS information.
projection(kde_childcareSG_bw_raster) <- CRS("+init=EPSG:3414")
kde_childcareSG_bw_rasterclass : RasterLayer
dimensions : 128, 128, 16384 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 0.4170614, 0.2647348 (x, y)

crs : +proj=tmerc +lat_0=1.36666666666667 +lon_0=103.833333333333 +k=1 +x_0=28001.642 +y_0=38744.572 +ellps=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs
source : memory
names : v
values : -8.476185e-15, 28.51831 (min, max)Note that the CRS property has been included.
Visualising Output in tmap
We can finally display the raster using tmap
tm_shape(kde_childcareSG_bw_raster) +
tm_raster("v") +
tm_layout(legend.position = c("right", "bottom"), frame = FALSE)
Note that the raster values are encoded explicitly onto the raster pixel using the values in the “v” field.
Comparing Spatial Point Patterns Using KDE
Here, we will look at how to compare KDE of childcare at Punggol, Tampines, Chua Chu Kang and Jurong West Planning Areas
Extracting Study Areas
The code below will help us to extract the target planning areas
pg = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "PUNGGOL",]
tm = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "TAMPINES",]
ck = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "CHOA CHU KANG",]
jw = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "JURONG WEST",]Plotting target planning areas
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(pg, main = "Punggol")
plot(tm, main = "Tampines")
plot(ck, main = "Choa Chu Kang")
plot(jw, main = "Jurong West")
Converting the Spatial Point Data Frame into Generic sp Format
pg_sp = as(pg, "SpatialPolygons")
tm_sp = as(tm, "SpatialPolygons")
ck_sp = as(ck, "SpatialPolygons")
jw_sp = as(jw, "SpatialPolygons")Creating owin Object
pg_owin = as(pg_sp, "owin")
tm_owin = as(tm_sp, "owin")
ck_owin = as(ck_sp, "owin")
jw_owin = as(jw_sp, "owin")Combining Childcare Points and the Study Area
By using the code chunk below, we are able to extract childcare that is within the specific region to do our analysis later on.
childcare_pg_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[pg_owin]
childcare_tm_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[tm_owin]
childcare_ck_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[ck_owin]
childcare_jw_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[jw_owin]We use rescale() to transform the units of measurement from metre to kilometre
childcare_pg_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_pg_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_tm_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_tm_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_ck_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_ck_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_jw_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_jw_ppp, 1000, "km")Now, we will plot the four study areas and locations of childcare centres
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(childcare_pg_ppp.km, main="Punggol")
plot(childcare_tm_ppp.km, main="Tampines")
plot(childcare_ck_ppp.km, main="Choa Chu Kang")
plot(childcare_jw_ppp.km, main="Jurong West")
Computing KDE
The code chunk below will be used to compute the KDE of these four planning area. bw.diggle method is used to derive each bandwidth
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(density(childcare_pg_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.diggle,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Punggol")
plot(density(childcare_tm_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.diggle,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Tampines")
plot(density(childcare_ck_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.diggle,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Choa Chu Kang")
plot(density(childcare_jw_ppp.km,
sigma = bw.diggle,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Jurong West")
Computing Fixed Bandwidth KDE
For comparison purposes, we will use 250m as the bandwidth.
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(density(childcare_ck_ppp.km,
sigma = 0.25,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Chou Chu Kang")
plot(density(childcare_jw_ppp.km,
sigma = 0.25,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Jurong West")
plot(density(childcare_pg_ppp.km,
sigma = 0.25,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Punggol")
plot(density(childcare_tm_ppp.km,
sigma = 0.25,
edge = TRUE,
kernel = "gaussian"),
main = "Tampines")
Nearest Neighbour Analysis

The test hypotheses are:
Ho = The distribution of childcare services are randomly distributed.
H1 = The distribution of childcare services are not randomly distributed.
