Displaced amacrine cells in the retina of a rabbit: analysis of a bivariate spatial point pattern.
A data set consisting of the locations of "light-on" and "light-off" displaced amacrine cells in the retina of a rabbit is analysed using recently developed statistical methodology. The results are used to discriminate between two biological hypotheses concerning the genesis of the data. Some general comments are made on the statistical analysis of spatial point patterns.
