I agree on the drawbacks of using the centroid of the MSA. Working with LEHD to define CBD sounds amazing! I am on board!

I've experimented with this before and is currently reorganizing the code to make it complete and convenient to use.

@jGaboardi The issue should be related to sphinx and [sphinxcontrib-bibtex](https://github.com/mcmtroffaes/sphinxcontrib-bibtex) which is used for BibTeX style citations with Sphinx. I installed an older version of sphinx (V4.2.0) and reran the...

Looks amazing!

Thank you for reporting the import issue @SFashandi. @ljwolf It seems that all the functions/classes defined in the old distance_statistics module are [imported](https://github.com/pysal/pointpats/blob/main/pointpats/distance_statistics.py#L15) in the new distance_statistics module, but as...

@ljwolf thanks for the explanation! @SFashandi please follow the [numpy-oriented notebook](https://github.com/pysal/pointpats/blob/main/notebooks/distance_statistics-numpy-oriented.ipynb) and the [API docs](https://pysal.org/pointpats/api.html#distance-based-statistics) to use distance-based statistics. The [older implementation of these statistics](https://github.com/pysal/pointpats/blob/main/notebooks/distance_statistics.ipynb) is depreciated and cannot be...

@SFashandi Thank you for reporting the issue. Could you provide the data for `points` used in your example?

@ljwolf there does seem to be an issue with setting support for the J function. In the [notebook example](https://github.com/pysal/pointpats/blob/main/notebooks/distance_statistics-numpy-oriented.ipynb), setting `support` to be 15 will give me the warning: ``UserWarning:...

Thanks @ljwolf! @SFashandi you may want to replace `from pointpats import ripley` with `from pointpats import distance_statistics as ds` and access all the distance functions from `ds` instead of `ripley`....

I could not even open the notebook locally. I think it is broken?
