Rescaling Marked Point Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1971, Meyer showed how one could use the compensator to rescale a multivariate point process, forming independent Poisson processes with intensity one. Meyer’s result has been generalized to multi-dimensional point processes. Here, we explore generalization of Meyer’s theorem to the case of marked point processes, where the mark space may be quite general. Assuming simplicity and the existence of a conditional intensity, we show that a marked point process can be transformed into a compound Poisson process with unit total rate and a fixed mark distribution. **

Testing separability in spatial-temporal marked point processes.
Nonparametric tests for investigating the separability of a spatial-temporal marked point process are described and compared. It is shown that a Cramer-von Mises-type test is very powerful at detecting gradual departures from separability, and that a residual test based on randomly rescaling the process is powerful at detecting nonseparable clustering or inhibition of the marks. An application ...
متن کاملRescaling, thinning or complementing? On goodness-of-fit procedures for point process models and Generalized Linear Models
Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) are an increasingly popular framework for modeling neural spike trains. They have been linked to the theory of stochastic point processes and researchers have used this relation to assess goodness-of-fit using methods from point-process theory, e.g. the time-rescaling theorem. However, high neural firing rates or coarse discretization lead to a breakdown of the ...
متن کاملAlgorithms for the analysis of ensemble neural spiking activity using simultaneous-event multivariate point-process models
Understanding how ensembles of neurons represent and transmit information in the patterns of their joint spiking activity is a fundamental question in computational neuroscience. At present, analyses of spiking activity from neuronal ensembles are limited because multivariate point process (MPP) models cannot represent simultaneous occurrences of spike events at an arbitrarily small time resolu...
متن کاملOn Rescaled Poisson Processes and the Brownian Bridge ∗
The process obtained by rescaling a homogeneous Poisson process by the maximum likelihood estimate of its intensity is shown to have surprisingly strong self-correcting behavior. Formulas for the conditional intensity and moments of the rescaled Poisson process are derived, and its behavior is demonstrated using simulations. Relationships to the Brownian Bridge are explored, and implications fo...
متن کاملBoundary Behavior of Interior Point Algorithms in Linear Programming
This paper studies the boundary behavior of some interior point algorithms for linear programming. The algorithms considered are Karmarkar's projective rescaling algorithm, the linear rescaling algorithm which was proposed as a variation on Karmarkar's algorithm, and the logarithmic barrier technique. The study includes both the continuous trajectories of the vector fields induced by these algo...
