Abstract
Modelling the first-order intensity function is one of the main aims in point process theory. An appropriate model describes the first-order intensity as a nonparametric function of spatial covariates. A formal testing procedure is presented to assess the goodness-of-fit of this model, assuming an inhomogeneous Poisson point process. The test is based on a quadratic distance between two kernel intensity estimators. The asymptotic normality of the test statistic is proved and a bootstrap procedure to approximate its distribution is suggested. The proposal is illustrated with two applications to real data sets, and an extensive simulation study to evaluate its finite-sample performance.
期刊介绍:
Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (CSDA), an Official Publication of the network Computational and Methodological Statistics (CMStatistics) and of the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC), is an international journal dedicated to the dissemination of methodological research and applications in the areas of computational statistics and data analysis. The journal consists of four refereed sections which are divided into the following subject areas:
I) Computational Statistics - Manuscripts dealing with: 1) the explicit impact of computers on statistical methodology (e.g., Bayesian computing, bioinformatics,computer graphics, computer intensive inferential methods, data exploration, data mining, expert systems, heuristics, knowledge based systems, machine learning, neural networks, numerical and optimization methods, parallel computing, statistical databases, statistical systems), and 2) the development, evaluation and validation of statistical software and algorithms. Software and algorithms can be submitted with manuscripts and will be stored together with the online article.
II) Statistical Methodology for Data Analysis - Manuscripts dealing with novel and original data analytical strategies and methodologies applied in biostatistics (design and analytic methods for clinical trials, epidemiological studies, statistical genetics, or genetic/environmental interactions), chemometrics, classification, data exploration, density estimation, design of experiments, environmetrics, education, image analysis, marketing, model free data exploration, pattern recognition, psychometrics, statistical physics, image processing, robust procedures.
