The phrase "a pattern of spatial" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing arrangements, distributions, or configurations in a spatial context, such as in geography, architecture, or data visualization.
Example: "The study revealed a pattern of spatial distribution among the species in the ecosystem."
Alternatives: "a spatial arrangement" or "a spatial configuration".
The spatial simulation was performed using geographical information system (GIS) and the model results show an increase in the urban energy hierarchy and reveal a pattern of spatial convergence.
We were interested in testing whether some invertebrate fisheries followed a pattern of spatial expansion and depletion over time as has been shown for sea urchins [5].
In the first six weeks there is a pattern of spatial non-random dispersion - negative (but non-significant) I values.
Such a pattern of spatial autocorrelation suggests that dispersal limitation does influence patterns of distribution for microbes (O'Malley 2007; Rout and Callaway 2012).
In at least some Ontario regions, premises under the same ownership cluster geographically, and finding a pattern of spatial or spatio-temporal clustering of infectious disease might be facilitated by introducing infected animals from the same source, concurrent change in management, or frequency of other component causes, or simply by recall bias of the interviewee.
The analysis of local spatial dependence did reveal local clustering or hot spots scattered throughout the neighborhoods, and the temporal analyses showed a relatively high concordance in the rank order of trap productivity in time, which translates into a pattern of spatial stability of Ae. aegypti females in both neighborhoods.
The concept is demonstrated by using a pre-defined truck fleet to calculate a pattern of statistical spatial repeatability and is tested by using that pattern to find the truck statistical properties that generated it.
Although somewhat higher population genetic connectivity is found among P. elegans populations with planktonic larvae, overall a pattern of significant spatial population genetic structure and low connectivity has been found among European P. elegans populations [ 42].
For Geary's ratio, a value of 1 indicates a random pattern of spatial variability in incidence, whereas a value greater than 1 suggests a dispersed pattern with adjacent wards having different incidence, and a value less than 1 suggests a clustered pattern in which adjacent wards have similar incidence.
When compared to the results of STRUCTURE, a similar pattern of spatial structure was observed, except a portion of individuals from the BA population had membership into a fourth cluster.
Additionally, we found significant spatial clustering of de novo missense variants for a single gene (PPP2R5D: p < 1e−07; permutation test) and a general pattern of spatial clustering across the five genes with recurrent de novo missense variants (p = 0.0057, Fisher's combined probability test; Supplementary Table 2).
