“…Further studies on spatial colocation patterns mainly focus on three aspects, namely, method improvement, spatial colocation rule innovation, and data type expansion. Among these aspects, the most typical methods include feature‐centric (Yoo, Shekhar, and Celik 2005), window‐centric (Venkatesan and Thangavelu 2013), and event‐centric (Wang et al 2008; Venkatesan, Thangavelu, and Prabhavathy 2011) models. A series of distance‐focused methods, including optimization algorithm with focus on pruning strategy (Al‐Naymat 2008; Wang et al 2009) and K‐nearest neighbor (Qian et al 2013), traffic network (Kudic 2015; Yu 2017), and dynamic neighborhood (Qian, He, and He 2009) constraints, have been proposed.…”
