Recommendations

• Overall and pairwise segregation tests based on nearest neighbor contingency tables
• New tests of spatial segregation based on nearest neighbour contingency tables
• More reliable inference for the dissimilarity index of segregation
• A nonparametric approach to k-sample inference based on entropy
• A test for homogeneity of variances based on Shannon's entropy
