You can also use some parameters from computational geometry, i.e.
parameters deduced from the Voronoi partition, the Delaunay triangulation,
the Euclidean minimum spanning tree (emst), etc.

These (normalized) parameters can tell you if your distribution of objects
is random, clustered, periodic, with gradient, etc.
An example of application (from our group) can be found in : Nawrocki Raby
et al. Int. J. Cancer (2001), 93, 644-652.

There is a plugin available for ImageJ that computes the Voronoi partition,
the Delaunay triangulation, etc.
