Abstract:

We propose a Dynamic Spatial-Temporal Poisson Point Process (DSTPPP) model that accounts for the temporal and spatial clustering as a Marked Non Homogeneous Poisson Point Process (MNHPPP) via conditioning. We propose models for the intensity function of a (DSTPPP) using a Marked Non-Homogeneous Poisson Point Process (MNHPPP) via conditioning arguments that allow for additional interpretations. More precisely, the DSTPPP intensity function is modeled as a product of two functions; the first one representing the intensity of the temporal (time) component and the second a function of the intensity of the spatial (location) process, which is defined conditionally upon the temporal component of the event. In particular, the temporal component is modeled by a Hawkes Process and the spatial (location) process is modeled via a mixture of bivariate normal components. We propose a flexible hierarchical Bayesian framework for estimation of the parameters of the intensity function using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. The methodology is illustrated using simulated data and an application involving modeling and inference for earthquake data.
