Summary
The Near Repeat Calculator is a tool published by Temple University for examining the statistical significance of repeat and near repeat patterns in a dataset.
This tool creates a comma-separated values (CSV) file in the format required by the Near Repeat Calculator from an input feature class.
Usage
- Input features must have a date field.
- The output comma-separated values (CSV) file does not contain any field headers as these are not supported by the Near Repeat Calculator. The output fields are, in order: X, Y, Date.
Syntax
ExportNearRepeatCalculatorTable_crime (Input_Feature_Class, Output_Table, Date_Field)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
| Input Feature Class | Feature class containing points representing the location of incidents. The data contained in the features class will typically cover a long time period (for example, one year). The feature class must have a date field (in date format) and all features must have date values. | Feature Layer |
| Output Table | Specify the path and file name of output comma-separated values (CSV) file. | File |
| Date Field | The field in the input feature class containing the date on which each incident occurred. If the date of the incident spans a range (for example, date information is recorded in two fields representing the from and to dates), choose the date field you consider to be most appropriate. This will usually be the date at the beginning of the date range. | Field |
