Nonparametric First-Order Analysis of Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Point Processes

First-order characteristics are essential functions in point processes representing the distribution of events in the corresponding domain. For decades, the inconsistency of the first-order kernel intensity estimator has been an obstacle to perform inference in the point process context. In this wor...

Sumario:First-order characteristics are essential functions in point processes representing the distribution of events in the corresponding domain. For decades, the inconsistency of the first-order kernel intensity estimator has been an obstacle to perform inference in the point process context. In this work, we develop different procedures to obtain consistent estimators of the first-order intensity function, and we also propose bootstrap procedures to define effective bandwidth selectors. Moreover, these innovations are used in three testing problems: the goodness-of-fit of an appealing model in the literature of point processes with covariates, the nonparametric comparison of first-order intensity functions and a separability test for spatio-temporal point process. We illustrate the above-mentioned procedures with two wildfire data sets in Galicia (NW Spain) and in Canada.
