Distance sampling is a widely used method for estimating wildlife population abundance. The fact that conventional distance sampling methods are partly design-based constrains the spatial resolution ...

Hawkes processes represent a class of self-exciting point processes wherein each event increases the likelihood of subsequent events occurring over a short period. Initially developed by Alan Hawkes ...

A composite likelihood technique based on pairwise contributions provides a computationally simple but potentially inefficient approach for fitting spatial point process models. We propose a new ...

Spatial point processes constitute a fundamental statistical framework for modelling the spatial distribution of events across a continuum. This field bridges theoretical developments in probability ...
