Two-step estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with parameter estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes with a regression model for the intensity function and tractable second order properties (K-function). Regression parameters are estimated using a Poisson likelihood score estimating function and in a second step minimum contrast estimation is applied for the residual clustering parameters. Asymptotic normality of parameter estimates is established under certain mixing conditions and we exemplify how the results may be applied in ecological studies of rain forests.

Estimating functions for inhomogeneous spatial point processes with incomplete covariate data
The R package spatstat provides a very flexible and useful framework for analyzing spatial point patterns. A fundamental feature is a procedure for fitting spatial point process models depending on covariates. However, in practice one often faces incomplete observation of the covariates and this leads to parameter estimation error which is difficult to quantify. In this paper we introduce a Mon...
متن کاملVariance 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 کاملStep change point estimation in the multivariate-attribute process variability using artificial neural networks and maximum likelihood estimation
In some statistical process control applications, the combination of both variable and attribute quality characteristics which are correlated represents the quality of the product or the process. In such processes, identification the time of manifesting the out-of-control states can help the quality engineers to eliminate the assignable causes through proper corrective actions. In this paper, f...
متن کاملFast Block Variance Estimation Procedures for Inhomogeneous Spatial Point Processes
We introduce two new variance estimation procedures by using non-overlapping and overlapping blocks, respectively. The non-overlapping block (NOB) estimator can be viewed as the limit of the thinned block bootstrap (TBB) estimator recently proposed in Guan and Loh (2007), by letting the number of thinned processes and bootstrap samples therein both increase to infinity. Compared to the latter, ...
متن کاملChange Point Estimation in High Yield Processes in the Presence of Serial Correlation
Change point estimation is as an effective method for identifying the time of a change in production and service processes. In most of the statistical quality control literature, it is usually assumed that the quality characteristic of interest is independently and identically distributed over time. It is obvious that this assumption could be easily violated in practice. In this paper, we use m...
