A sequence Xn, 1 of independent and identically distributed random vectors is considered. Under a condition of regular variation, the number of vertices of the convex hull of {X1, …, Xn} converges in distribution to the number of vertices of the convex hull of a certain Poisson point process. In this paper, it is proved without sharpening the conditions that the expectation of this number also converges; expressions are found for its limit, generalizing results of Davis et al. (1987). We also present some results concerning other quantities of interest, such as area and perimeter of the convex hull and the probability that a given point belongs to the convex hull.

In this paper we focus on the asymptotic properties of the sequence of convex hulls which arise as a result of a peeling procedure applied to the convex hull generated by a Poisson point process. Processes of the considered type are tightly connected with empirical point processes and stable random vectors. Results are given about the limit shape of the convex hulls in the case of a discrete spectral measure. We give some numerical experiments to illustrate the peeling procedure for a larger class of Poisson point processes.

We construct unbiased estimators for the distribution of the number of vertices inside random stopping sets based on a Poisson point process. Our approach is based on moment identities for stopping sets, showing that the random count of points inside the complement of a stopping set S has a Poisson distribution conditionally to S. The proofs do not require the use of set-indexed martingales, and our estimators have a lower variance when compared to standard sampling. Numerical simulations are presented for examples such as the convex hull and the Voronoi flower of a Poisson point process, and their complements.

A sequence X n , 1 of independent and identically distributed random vectors is considered. Under a condition of regular variation, the number of vertices of the convex hull of { X 1, …, X n} converges in distribution to the number of vertices of the convex hull of a certain Poisson point process. In this paper, it is proved without sharpening the conditions that the expectation of this number also converges; expressions are found for its limit, generalizing results of Davis et al. (1987). We also present some results concerning other quantities of interest, such as area and perimeter of the convex hull and the probability that a given point belongs to the convex hull.
