Local block bootstrap for inhomogeneous Poisson marked point processes

Abstract

The asymptotic theory for the sample mean of a marked point process in $d$ dimensions is established, allowing for the possibility that the underlying Poisson point process is inhomogeneous. A novel local block bootstrap method for resampling inhomogeneous Poisson marked point processes is introduced, and its consistency is proven for the sample mean and related statistics. Finite-sample simulations are carried out to complement the asymptotic results, and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methodology.
