Title: Nearest neighbour and point-to-nearest-object
Abstract: In nearest neighbour sampling, objects within the survey region are randomly sampled, and the distances to their nearest neighbour are measured. In point-to-nearest-object sampling, points within the survey region are randomly sampled, and the distance from each point to the nearest object is measured. If we assume that objects are independently and uniformly distributed throughout the survey region, then the distribution of nearest-object distances is the same under both approaches.
