For example, two crimes, say Robbery and Assault, would form a colocation pattern if they are reported together at many places. Think of spatial colocation pattern mining as [association rule mining](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_rule_learning) in the spatial domain. + ## Setup * Download and setup Scala, Hadoop (with HDFS) and HBase for versions given [here](docs/implementation.md).
