Title: Line Transect-Based Nearest Neighbor Distance Analysis
Version: 1.3
Date: 2026-06-28
Description: Conducting Line transect-based one-dimensional nearest
        neighbor distance and conducting hypothesis testing related to
        local distributional aggregation pattern of species. The reason
        that such a package is needed is because traditional
        two-dimensional nearest neighbor distance is not applicable
        when biodiversity data are sampled via optimal ecological
        survey methods, like line transects. In comparison to the
        entire studied region, line transect-collected local
        biodiversity data are spatially constrained and
        sampling-limited. To this end, two-dimensional nearest neighbor
        distance would tend to over-estimate distributional aggregation
        pattern of species when using this limited biodiversity
        information. Accordingly, one-dimensional nearest neighbor
        distance is needed and the associated statistical testing
        should be established for analyzing line transect-derived
        biodiversity data.
