[R-sig-Geo] Characterizing the position (central vs peripheral) of a point in a point pattern

[Alexandre VILLERS]

Good morning,

I would like to characterize the position of  a given nest in a 
population of breeding birds. Does anyone know a statisitics (and 
associated R package) that could objectively tell whether a nest has a 
central or peripheral location ? It also needs to be density independent 
(not affected by sample size)
Hope this is a trivial question !

Thanks for your help.

Alex
