Testing the Structural Properties of Marked Point Processes Using Local Inhomogeneous Mark-Weighted K-Functions

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio, Matthias Eckardt

This work proposes -type test statistics to assess different hypotheses on the local structure of an observed marked point pattern. The test statistics is based on the local i…

Using a neural network approach and starspots dependent models to predict effective temperatures and ages of young stars

Marco Tarantino, Loredana Prisinzano, Nicoletta D Angelo +2

This study presents a statistical approach to accurately predict the effective temperatures of pre-main sequence stars, which are necessary for determining stellar ages using the i…

Detecting changes in space-varying parameters of local Poisson point processes

Nicoletta D'Angelo

Recent advances in local models for point processes have highlighted the need for flexible methodologies to account for the spatial heterogeneity of external covariates influencing…

A point process approach for the classification of noisy calcium imaging data

Arianna Burzacchi, Nicoletta D'Angelo, David Payares-Garcia +1

We study noisy calcium imaging data, with a focus on the classification of spike traces. As raw traces obscure the true temporal structure of neuron's activity, we performed a tune…

stopp: An R Package for Spatio-Temporal Point Pattern Analysis

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio

stopp is a novel R package specifically designed for the analysis of spatio-temporal point patterns which might have occurred in a subset of the Euclidean space or on some specific…

Testing for a general changepoint in psychometric studies: changes detection and sample size planning

Nicoletta D'Angelo

This paper introduces a new method for change detection in psychometric studies based on the recently introduced pseudo Score statistic, for which the sampling distribution under t…

Semi-parametric profile pseudolikelihood via local summary statistics for spatial point pattern intensity estimation

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio, Jorge Mateu +1

Second-order statistics play a crucial role in analysing point processes. Previous research has specifically explored locally weighted second-order statistics for point processes,…

Cubature scheme for spatio-temporal Poisson point processes estimation

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio

This work presents the cubature scheme for the fitting of spatio-temporal Poisson point processes. The methodology is implemented in the R Core Team (2024) package stopp (D'Angelo…

A machine learning approach to predict university enrolment choices through students' high school background in Italy

Andrea Priulla, Alessandro Albano, Nicoletta D'Angelo +1

This paper explores the influence of Italian high school students' proficiency in mathematics and the Italian language on their university enrolment choices, specifically focusing…

Spatio-temporal point process modelling of fires in Sicily exploring human and environmental factors

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Alessandro Albano, Andrea Gilardi +1

In 2023, Sicily faced an escalating issue of uncontrolled fires, necessitating a thorough investigation into their spatio-temporal dynamics. Our study addresses this concern throug…

Advances in Kth nearest-neighbour clutter removal

Nicoletta D'Angelo

We consider the problem of feature detection in the presence of clutter in spatial point processes. Classification methods have been developed in previous studies. Among these, Bye…

Minimum contrast for the first-order intensity estimation of spatial and spatio-temporal point processes

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio

In this paper, we harness a result in point process theory, specifically the expectation of the weighted -function, where the weighting is done by the true first-order intensity…

stopp: Methods for spatio-temporal point pattern analysis, simulation, model fitting, diagnostics, and local analyses

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio

The stopp R package deals with spatio-temporal point processes which might have occurred on the Euclidean space or on some specific linear networks such as roads of a city. The pac…

Locally weighted minimum contrast estimation for spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox processes

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio, Jorge Mateu

We propose a local version of spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox processes using Local Indicators of Spatio-Temporal Association (LISTA) functions into the minimum contrast procedure…

Feature detection in point processes on linear networks using nearest neighbour volumes

Juan F. Diaz-Sepulveda, Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio +2

We consider the feature detection problem in the presence of clutter in point processes on linear networks. We extend the classification method developed in previous studies to thi…

Local inhomogeneous weighted summary statistics for marked point processes

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Giada Adelfio, Jorge Mateu +1

We introduce a family of local inhomogeneous mark-weighted summary statistics, of order two and higher, for general marked point processes. Depending on how the involved weight fun…

Spatial Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation

Nicoletta D'Angelo, Antonino Abbruzzo, Giada Adelfio

We consider latent Gaussian fields for modelling spatial dependence in the context of both spatial point patterns and areal data, providing two different applications. The inhomoge…
