AbstractConsider a homogeneous Poisson point process of the Euclidean plane and its Voronoi tessellation. The present note discusses the properties of two stationary point processes associated with the latter and depending on a parameter $\theta$ . The first is the set of points that belong to some one-dimensional facet of the Voronoi tessellation and such that the angle with which they see the two nuclei defining the facet is $\theta$ . The main question of interest on this first point process is its intensity. The second point process is that of the intersections of the said tessellation with a straight line having a random orientation. Its intensity is well known. The intersection points almost surely belong to one-dimensional facets. The main question here concerns the Palm distribution of the angle with which the points of this second point process see the two nuclei associated with the facet. We will give answers to these two questions and briefly discuss their practical motivations. We also discuss natural extensions to three dimensions.

For a stationary point process X of convex particles in ℝd the projected thick section process X(L) on a q-dimensional linear subspace L is considered. Formulae connecting geometric functionals, e.g. the quermass densities of X and X(L), are presented. They generalize the classical results of Miles (1976) and Davy (1976) which hold only in the isotropic case.

Various types of time and event sampling of a stationary and orderly bivariate point process are considered. Fundamental relations between inter-event intervals and the event counting process are derived. Relations between first forward recurrence times and their moments for different types of sampling are obtained.

Some relationships are derived between the asynchronous and partially synchronous counting and interval processes associated with a multivariate stationary point process. A few examples are given to illustrate some of these relationships.

Abstract The spatial positions of individual aerosol particles, cloud droplets, or raindrops can be modeled as a point processes in three dimensions. Characterization of three-dimensional point processes often involves the calculation or estimation of the radial distribution function (RDF) and/or the pair-correlation function (PCF) for the system. Sampling these three-dimensional systems is often impractical, however, and, consequently, these three-dimensional systems are directly measured by probing the system along a one-dimensional transect through the volume (e.g., an aircraft-mounted cloud probe measuring a thin horizontal “skewer” through a cloud). The measured RDF and PCF of these one-dimensional transects are related to (but not, in general, equal to) the RDF/PCF of the intrinsic three-dimensional systems from which the sample was taken. Previous work examined the formal mathematical relationship between the statistics of the intrinsic three-dimensional system and the one-dimensional transect; this study extends the previous work within the context of realistic sampling variability. Natural sampling variability is found to constrain substantially the usefulness of applying previous theoretical relationships. Implications for future sampling strategies are discussed.

The maxima of independent Weiner processes spatially normalized with time scales compressed is considered and it is shown that a weak limit process exists. This limit process is stationary, and its one-dimensional distributions are of standard extreme-value type. The method of proof involves showing convergence of related point processes to a limit Poisson point process. The method is extended to handle the maxima of independent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes.

The concept of θ-stationarity for a simple second-order point process in R2 is introduced. This concept is closely related to that of isotropy. Some θ-stationary processes are defined. Techniques are given for simulating realisations of these processes. The second-order analysis of these processes which have an obvious point of reference or origin is considered. Methods are suggested for modelling spatial patterns which are realisations of such processes. These methods are illustrated using simulated data. The ideas are extended to multitype point processes.

We consider a class of random point and germ-grain processes, obtained using a rather natural weighting procedure. Given a Poisson point process, on each point one places a grain, a (possibly random) compact convex set. Let Ξ be the union of all grains. One can now construct new processes whose density is derived from an exponential of a linear combination of quermass functionals of Ξ. If only the area functional is used, then the area-interaction point process is recovered. New point processes arise if we include the perimeter length functional, or the Euler functional (number of components minus number of holes). The main question addressed by the paper is that of when the resulting point process is well-defined: geometric arguments are used to establish conditions for the point process to be stable in the sense of Ruelle.
