Generalizations of Mat\'ern's hard-core point processes

Methodology 2012-09-13 v1 Probability

Abstract

Mat\'ern's hard-core processes are valuable point process models in spatial statistics. In order to extend their field of application, Mat\'ern's original models are generalized here, both as point processes and particle processes. The thinning rule uses a distance-dependent probability function, which controls deletion of points close together. For this general setting, explicit formulas for first- and second-order characteristics can be given. Two examples from materials science illustrate the application of the models.
