Spatial Jump Processes and Perfect Simulation

by:

Jesper Møller

Kasper K. Berthelsen

Abstract

Spatial birth-and-death processes, spatial birth-and-catastrophe processes, and more general types of spatial jump processes are studied in detail. Particularly, various kinds of coupling constructions are considered, leading to some known and some new perfect simulation procedures for the equilibrium distributions of different types of spatial jump processes. These equilibrium distributions include many classical Gibbs point process models and a new class of models for spatial point processes introduced in the text.
