Abstract
We introduce a new fully non-parametric two-step adaptive bandwidth selection method for kernel estimators of spatial point process intensity functions based on the Campbell–Mecke formula and Abramson’s square root law. We present a simulation study to assess its performance relative to other adaptive and global bandwidth selectors, investigate the influence of the pilot estimator and apply the technique to two data sets: A pattern of trees and an earthquake catalogue.
期刊介绍:
Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (AISM) aims to provide a forum for open communication among statisticians, and to contribute to the advancement of statistics as a science to enable humans to handle information in order to cope with uncertainties. It publishes high-quality papers that shed new light on the theoretical, computational and/or methodological aspects of statistical science. Emphasis is placed on (a) development of new methodologies motivated by real data, (b) development of unifying theories, and (c) analysis and improvement of existing methodologies and theories.
