Differences with chapter 15 (model-based geostatistics)

• In geostatistical data, the stochastic process \(Z(s)\) (a continuous response variable) can be observed everywhere in domain \(D\).
• But in a spatial point process, domain \(D\) is defined as where the events occur; so the domain itself is considered stochastic.
  • Point patterns arise when the variable to be analyzed corresponds to the location of events.
