Abstract: Spatial interaction patterns such as segregation and association can be tested using nearest neighbor contingency tables (NNCTs). We introduce new cell-specific (or pairwise) and overall segregation tests and determine their asymptotic distributions. In particular, we demonstrate that cell-specific tests enjoy asymptotic normality, while overall tests have chi-square distributions asymptotically. We also perform an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study to compare the finite sample performance of the tests in terms of empirical size and power. In addition to the cell-specific tests as post-hoc tests for overall tests, we discuss one-class-versus-rest type of NNCT-tests after an overall test yields significant interaction. We also introduce the concepts of total, strong, and partial segregation/association to label levels of these patterns. We compare these new tests with the existing NNCT-tests in literature with simulations as well and illustrate the NNCT-tests on an ecological data set.
