Figure 4From: An application of the edge effect in measuring accessibility to multiple food retailer types in Southwestern Ontario, CanadaAverage distance (metres) to nearest 1, 2, and 3 food sources by type. This figure indicates the distances to various food sources when accounting for or neglecting the edge effect. In every pair, the average distance to food sources is greater when neglecting the edge effect, since certain food sources are omitted from analysis. Paired t-tests indicate that the difference between distances when accounting for or neglecting the edge effect is significant for all food source types.Back to article page
