Chapter 3: Spatial point patterns: Models and statistics

This chapter gives a brief introduction to spatial point processes, with a view to applications. The three sections focus on the construction of point process models, the simulation of point processes, and statistical inference. For further background, we recommend [Daley et al., Probability and its...

Description
Summary:This chapter gives a brief introduction to spatial point processes, with a view to applications. The three sections focus on the construction of point process models, the simulation of point processes, and statistical inference.
