Modeling spatial point patterns from noisy, incomplete experimental data just got easier! Great work by @domsturm.bsky.social for sparse, noise-robust model inference of point processes 🤩 @tudresden.bsky.social @csbdresden.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de Preprint out now: arxiv.org/abs/2510.25550
Robust variable selection for spatial point processes observed with noise
We propose a method for variable selection in the intensity function of spatial point processes that combines sparsity-promoting estimation with noise-robust model selection. As high-resolution spatia...
