In this article, the authors extend classical edge correction methods to the spatio-temporal setting and compare the performance of the related estimators for stationary/non-stationary and/or isotropic/anisotropic point patterns.
Abstract
Non-parametric estimates of the K-function and the pair correlation function play a fundamental role for exploratory and explanatory analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal point patterns. These estimates usually require information from outside of the study region, resulting to the so-called edge effects which have to be corrected. They also depend on first-order characteristics, which have to be estimated in practice. In this paper, we extend classical edge correction methods to the spatio-temporal setting and compare the performance of the related estimators for stationary/non-stationary and/or isotropic/anisotropic point patterns. Further, we explore the influence of the estimated intensity function on these estimators.

First- and Second-Order Characteristics of Spatio-Temporal Point Processes on Linear Networks

TL;DR: A nonparametric kernel-based intensity estimator is proposed to highlight the concentration of events within the network and time, either jointly or separately, in spatio-temporal point patterns when the spatial locations are restricted to a linear network.
