Bayesian semiparametric intensity estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes.
In this work we propose a fully Bayesian semiparametric method to estimate the intensity of an inhomogeneous spatial point process. The basic idea is to first convert intensity estimation into a Poisson regression setting via binning data points on a regular grid, and then model the log intensity semiparametrically using an adaptive version of Gaussian Markov random fields to smooth the corresp...
متن کاملMedian-based estimation of the intensity of a spatial point process
This paper is concerned with a robust estimator of the intensity of a stationary spatial point process. The estimator corresponds to the median of a jittered sample of the number of points, computed from a tessellation of the observation domain. We show that this median-based estimator satisfies a Bahadur representation from which we deduce its consistency and asymptotic normality under mild as...
متن کاملStein estimation of the intensity of a spatial homogeneous Poisson point process
In this paper, we revisit the original ideas of Stein and propose an estimator of the intensity parameter of a homogeneous Poisson point process defined on Rd and observed on a bounded window. The procedure is based on a new integration by parts formula for Poisson point processes. We show that our Stein estimator outperforms the maximum likelihood estimator in terms of mean squared error. In m...
متن کاملSADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT
A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...
متن کاملIntensity-Unbiased Force Computation for Variational Motion Estimation
We show that the sum of squared differences, commonly used as a dissimilarity measure in variational methods is biased towards high gradients and large intensity differences, and that it can affect drastically the quality of motion estimation techniques such as deformable registration. We propose a method which solves that problem by recalling that the Euler-Lagrange equation of the dissimilari...
