Abstract

We introduce a new fully non-parametric two-step adaptive bandwidth selection method for kernel estimators of spatial point process intensity functions based on the Campbell–Mecke formula and Abramson’s square root law. We present a simulation study to assess its performance relative to other adaptive and global bandwidth selectors, investigate the influence of the pilot estimator and apply the technique to two data sets: A pattern of trees and an earthquake catalogue.
