Testing Spatial Symmetry Using Contingency Tables Based on Nearest Neighbor Relations by Elvan Ceyhan

“…We use Pielou’s and Dixon’s symmetry tests which are defined using contingency tables based on the NN relationships between the data points. We generalize these tests to multiple classes and demonstrate that both the asymptotic and exact versions of Pielou’s first type of symmetry test are extremely conservative in rejecting symmetry in the mixed NN structure and hence should be avoided or only the Monte Carlo randomized version should be used. …”

A Multi-Scale Hybrid Scene Geometric Similarity Measurement Method Using Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network by Chongya Gong, Tinghua Ai, Shiyu Chen, Tianyuan Xiao, Huafei Yu

“…Due to the differing dimensionality of these various types of geographic data, traditional geometric similarity measurement methods that rely on a single type of feature are not applicable to mixed scenes. The traditional solution to this issue is to treat points as projections of polylines and polylines as projections of polygons. …”
