Abstract

We investigate the asymptotic mean squared error of kernel estimators of the intensity function of a spatial point process. We derive expansions for the bias and variance in the scenario that n independent copies of a point process in ℝ d $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ are superposed. When the same bandwidth is used in all d dimensions, we show that an optimal bandwidth exists and is of the order n− 1/(d+ 4) under appropriate smoothness conditions on the true intensity function.
