An example: given the coordinates of say 1000 cities in the USA, are there a few parameters which describe how they scatter / cluster,

C = clusterparams( cities )

which can then drive a random point generator

randomcities = randomgen( C )

so that

clusterparams( randomcities ) ~ C

i.e. the random cities scatter/cluster "like" the real cities ?
In general, I have N points in (typically) R2 or R3, and want to generate synthetic data for kd* trees.

Maybe look at some of the references in this wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_statistics – jc Jun 11 2010 at 18:41
