Lengths of Segments Formed by Binomial Point Process
Suppose you have a Poisson Point Process $\{X_k\}$ with intensity $1$ on $\mathbb{R}$, and we truncate it on $[0,L]$. For a positive integer $n$, I would like to compute or estimate \begin{equation*} \...

Prove $\mathbb{E}[\zeta] = \mathbb{E}\Biggl[\, \sum_{n}\, \frac{\mathbf{1}_{\{0\in I_n\}}}{\lvert I_n\rvert} \int_{V_n} \zeta \Biggr]$.
Lemma 2.5(Property of Voronoi tessellations) of the book "On Einstein's viscosity formula" states (here we restate a simplified version): Given an underlying probability space $(\Omega,\...

Simulating discrete determinantal point process
Suppose we have a Toeplitz matrix $K$ which is $N\times N$. I want to simulate the determinantal point process associated with this matrix. Let's just start with something simple, like $N=2$. So $$ K=\...

Problem with Markovian Hawkes Process / Intensity Definition?
While studying Hawkes processes, I have come across a textbook (Laub, Lee, and Taimre) and many articles that mention (but do not prove) that, if $N$ is the counting process of a Hawkes process, $\...

Failure of Campbell's Theorem in Point Processes
The conditions of Campbell's Theorem says that $\eta$ is a point process with intensity measure $\lambda$, (i.e. $E(\eta(B))=\lambda(B)$ for all measurable $B$) then for a function $f$ such that $f\...

Eigendecomposition of a Gram Matrix with Specified Columns
I am currently learning about determinantal point processes, mainly via this survey by Kulesza and Taskar. The likelihood kernel $L$, a $N\times N$ symmetric positive semidefinite matrix, of such a ...

Convergence of subsequences of a stationary stochastic process
Let $\{X_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a real-valued stationary stochastic process, and let $\{W_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a binary-valued stochastic process, where $W_n \in \{0, 1\}$. We call $W_n$ the event ...

Difference between compensator of point process under real parameter an its MLE estimator
Suppose we have some point process $N=N_{\theta_0}$ on the real line, driven by a conditional intensity $\lambda_{\theta_0}$ dependent on some finite-dimensional parameter $\theta_0\in\Theta\subset\...

Janossy densities and the relation with density with respect to a Poisson point process
In the spatial point process literature, it is customary to specify a point process by assigning its density with respect to a Poisson point process. For instance, an Hardcore point process $\mathbf X$...

Interpretation of $p_n N_n$ in Kallenberg's theorem on thinning of point processes?
I am seeking to use the following theorem by Kallenberg (1975) (the version quoted below is from Brown, 1979) Theorem. Let $\{N_n\}$ be a sequence of point processes and $\{p_n\}$ a sequence in $(0,1]...

Existence of Malthusian Parameter (general branching process)
Consider a continuous time point process $\eta(t)$ representing the number of children in the interval $[0,t]$. Then $\eta(\infty)$ gives the total number of children of an individual. We define $\mu(...

CLT for spatiotemporal processes having a white noise limit
Let $(Z_t)_{t\geq0}$ be a homogeneous Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda>0$, such that to each event at time $t$, there is some random location $x\in[0,1]$ attached. More specifically, ...
