Suppose that a n-dimensional (random) vector is partitioned into m sets of components as X=(X1,...,Xm), where the dimension of Xi is ni, i.e., dim(Xi)=ni, for i=1,...,m and [summation operator]i=1mni=n, with m Gaussian conditionalswhere X-i=(X1,...,Xi-1,Xi+1,...,Xm), dim(A'i,j)=(ni,nj),...

One method applicable to the examination of spatial point patterns of disease, the calculation of K-functions, is presented. The technique is used to determine the degree of clustering exhibited by the residuals from a spatially referenced logit model constructed to ascertain the factors...
