A new class of models for inhomogeneous spatial point processes is introduced. These locally scaled point processes are modifications of homogeneous template point processes, having the property that regions with different intensities differ only by a scale factor. This is achieved by replacing volume measures used in the density with locally scaled analogues defined by a location-dependent scaling function. The new approach is particularly appealing for modelling inhomogeneous Markov point processes. Distance-interaction and shot noise weighted Markov point processes are discussed in detail. It is shown that the locally scaled versions are again Markov and that locally the Papangelou conditional intensity of the new process behaves like that of a global scaling of the homogeneous process. Approximations are suggested that simplify calculation of the density, for example, in simulation. For sequential point processes, an alternative and simpler definition of local scaling is proposed.

Nearest-neighbour Markov point processes were introduced by Baddeley and Møller (1989) as generalizations of the Markov point processes of Ripley and Kelly. This note formulates and discusses a spatial Markov property for these point processes.

A generalization of Markov point processes is introduced in which interactions occur between connected components of the point pattern. A version of the Hammersley-Clifford characterization theorem is proved which states that a point process is a Markov interacting component process if and only if its density function is a product of interaction terms associated with cliques of connected components. Integrability and superpositional properties of the processes are shown and a pairwise interaction example is used for detailed exploration.

Sufficient conditions are given under which two simple point processes on the positive half-line can be stochastically compared as random elements of D(0,∞) or R∞ + Using a martingale approach to point processes, the conditions are proposed via a compensator function family. Appropriate versions of the processes being compared are constructed on the same probability space. The results are illustrated by replacement policies and semi-Markov point processes.

We note some interesting properties of the class of point processes which are Markov with respect to the ‘connected component’ relation. Results in the literature imply that this class is closed under random translation and independent cluster generation with almost surely non-empty clusters. We further prove that it is closed under superposition. A wide range of examples is also given.
