I'm looking for ideas on how to measure the compactness of a set of points. The idea is similar to identifying clusters, but instead I want to compare two distinct sets of points and return a measure of how compact one set is compared to the other.
So far the only research I've come across is specific to finding clusters within a set, rather than measuring the whole set.
Can anyone point me to useful algorithms for accomplishing this? In particular, it would be great to find an existing tool in QGIS that does this, although that's not necessary.
Thanks for any suggestions.
