Abstract

In this paper, we consider spatial point processes and investigate members of a subclass of the Markov point processes, termed the directed Markov point processes (DMPPs), whose joint distribution can be written in closed form and, as a consequence, its parameters can be estimated directly. Furthermore, we show how the DMPPs can be simulated rapidly using a one-pass algorithm. A subclass of Markov random fields on a finite lattice, called partially ordered Markov models (POMMs), has analogous structure to that of DMPPs. In this paper, we show that DMPPs are the limits of auto-Poisson and auto-logistic POMMs. These and other results reveal a close link between inference and simulation for DMPPs and POMMs.
