Multivariate Geometric Anisotropic Cox Processes
share
This paper introduces a new modelling framework for multivariate anisotropic Cox processes. Building on recent innovations in multivariate spatial statistics, we propose a new family of multivariate anisotropic random fields and construct a family of anisotropic point processes from it. We give conditions that make the models valid, and we provide additional understanding of valid point process dependence. We also propose a likelihood-based inference mechanism for this type of process. Finally we illustrate the utility of the proposed modelling framework by analysing spatial ecological observations of plants and trees in the Barro Colorado Island study.
