Abstract: Highlights•A novel problem of significant spatial co-distribution pattern (SSCDP) discovery is formally defined.•The spatial neighbor relation is modeled in the measurement of difference between spatial distributions of features.•The candidate SSCDPs are detected by clustering spatial distributions of features.•The spatial auto-correlation of each feature is maintained in the significance test of SSCDPs.
