Summary statistics for inhomogeneous marked point processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose new summary statistics for intensity-reweighted moment stationary marked point processes with particular emphasis on discrete marks. The new statistics are based on the n-point correlation functions and reduce to cross J and D-functions when stationarity holds. We explore the relationships between the various functions and discuss their explicit forms under specific model assumptions. We derive ratio-unbiased minus sampling estimators for our statistics and illustrate their use on a data set of wildfires.

Local Block Bootstrap for Inhomogeneous Poisson Marked Point Processes
The asymptotic theory for the sample mean of a marked point process in d dimensions is established, allowing for the possibility that the underlying Poisson point process is inhomogeneous. A novel local block bootstrap method for resampling inhomogeneous Poisson marked point processes is introduced, and its consistency is proven for the sample mean and related statistics. Finite-sample simulati...

Variance Estimation for Statistics Computed from Inhomogeneous Spatial Point Processes
This paper introduces a new approach to estimate the variance of statistics that are computed from an inhomogeneous spatial point process. The proposed approach is based on the assumption that the observed point process can be thinned to be a second-order stationary point process, where the thinning probability depends only on the first-order intensity function of the (unthinned) original proce...
متن کاملA J-function for Inhomogeneous Spatio-temporal Point Processes
We propose a new summary statistic for inhomogeneous intensity-reweighted moment stationarity spatio-temporal point processes. The statistic is defined in terms of the n-point correlation functions of the point process, and it generalizes the J -function when stationarity is assumed. We show that our statistic can be represented in terms of the generating functional and that it is related to th...
متن کاملModelling tree roots in mixed forest stands by inhomogeneous marked Gibbs point processes.
The aim of the paper is to apply point processes to root data modelling. We propose a new approach to parametric inference when the data are inhomogeneous replicated marked point patterns. We generalize Geyer's saturation point process to a model, which combines inhomogeneity, marks and interaction between the marked points. Furthermore, the inhomogeneity influences the definition of the neighb...
