6. 25. Point process learning for non-parametric intensity estimation with focus on Voronoi estimation

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

   Author : Alexander Thorén; [2023-03-28]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Point process learning is a new statistical theory that gives us a way to estimate parameters using cross-validation for point processes. By thinning a point pattern we are able to create training and validation sets which are then used in prediction errors. READ MORE
