Query: Multilayer Adjusted Cluster Point Process Model: Application to
  Microbial Biofilm Image Data Analysis   A common problem in spatial statistics tackles spatial distributions of
clusters of objects. Such clusters of similar or dissimilar objects are
encountered in many fields, including field ecology, astronomy, and biomedical
imaging. Still challenging is to quantify spatial clustering when one or more
entities clusters around a different entity in multiple layers. Such
multi-entity and multi-layered structures are observed, for example, in human
dental plaque biofilm images, which exhibit multi-species structures in
corncob-like arrangements. We propose a novel, fully Bayesian, multivariate
spatial point process model to quantify corncob-like arrangements with
"parent-offspring" statistical approaches. The proposed multilayer adjusted
cluster point process (MACPP) model departs from commonly used approaches in
that it exploits the locations of the central "parent" object in clusters and
accounts for multilayered multivariate parent-offspring clustering. In
simulated datasets, the MACPP outperforms the classical Neyman-Scott process
model, a univariate model for modeling spatially clustered processes, by
producing decisively more accurate and precise parameter estimates. We analyzed
data from a human dental plaque biofilm image in which \emph{Streptococcus} and
\emph{Porphyromonas} simultaneously cluster around \emph{Corynebacterium} and
\emph{Pasteurellaceae} clusters around \emph{Streptococcus}. The proposed MACPP
model successfully captured the parent-offspring structure for all the taxa
involved.
