Stein's method and Papangelou intensity for Poisson or Cox process approximation

Probability 2018-07-09 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we apply the Stein's method in the context of point processes, namely when the target measure is the distribution of a finite Poisson point process. We show that the so-called Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance between such a measure and another finite point process is bounded by the L1L^1-distance between their respective Papangelou intensities. Then, we deduce some convergence rates for sequences of point processes approaching a Poisson or a Cox point process.
