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.
