As long as this is recognized the test and the definition of clumping it provides remain useful.
Second, clumping might represent repeated captures of the same individuals within their home ranges.
The extremevalue approach clearly outperforms the 2 when applied to localized and discrete clumping.
We did not however, manage to determine that there would be no spatial clumping in a system where this was not the case.
Indeed, some sizes of sampling units may detect more clumping than others.
The clumping process prior to shock formation minimises the solidification of the molten aluminium.
