An estimating function approach to inference for inhomogeneous Neyman-Scott processes.
This article is concerned with inference for a certain class of inhomogeneous Neyman-Scott point processes depending on spatial covariates. Regression parameter estimates obtained from a simple estimating function are shown to be asymptotically normal when the "mother" intensity for the Neyman-Scott process tends to infinity. Clustering parameter estimates are obtained using minimum contrast es...
متن کاملMML is not consistent for Neyman-Scott
Minimum Message Length (MML) is a popular method for statistical inference, belonging to the Minimum Description Length (MDL) family. It is a general name for any of several computationally-feasible approximations to the generally NP-Hard Strict Minimum Message Length (SMML) estimator. One often-cited showcase for the power of MML is the Neyman-Scott estimation problem, where most popular estim...
متن کاملA Generalization of the Neyman-Scott Process
In this paper we introduce a generalization of the Neyman-Scott process (Neyman and Scott, 1958) that allows for regularity in the parent process. In particular, we consider the special case where the parent process is a Strauss process with offspring points dispersed about the parent points. Such a generalization allows for point realizations that show a mix of regularity and clustering in the...
متن کاملAn Approach to Asymptotic Inference for Spatial Point Processes
The standard asymptotic regime for studying the properties of estimators of the reduced second moment function K(t) of a spatial point process is to x the law of the process and t and let the observation region grow. No results comparing the asymptotic variability of these estimators are available for processes other than Poisson. This paper obtains asymptotic results for a large class of stati...
متن کاملBayesian inference for spatially inhomogeneous pairwise interacting point processes
Spatial point patterns are frequently modeled with pairwise interacting point processes. Unfortunately, inference in these models is complicated by the presence of an intractable function of the parameters in the likelihood. Because of the relative computational simplicity, frequentist inference in pairwise interacting point processes has dominated the literature. However, a Bayesian approach h...
