Abstract

In this paper we examine the extremal tail probabilities of moving sums in a marked Poisson random field. These sums are computed by adding up the weighted occurrences of events lying within a scanning set of fixed shape and size. We also provide an alternative representation of the constants of the asymptotic formulae in terms of the occupation measure of the conditional local random field at zero, and extend these representations to the constants of asymptotic tail probabilities of Gaussian random fields.
