Regularization techniques for inhomogeneous (spatial) point processes intensity and conditional intensity estimation

Point processes are stochastic models generating interacting points or events in time, space, etc. Among characteristics of these models, first-order intensity and conditional intensity functions are often considered. We focus on inhomogeneous parametric forms of these functions assumed to depend on a certain number of spatial covariates. When this number of covariates is large, we are faced with a high-dimensional problem. This paper provides an overview of these questions and existing solutions based on regularizations.
