Abstract
Summary
This paper is concerned with nonparametric estimation of the intensity function of a point process on a Riemannian manifold. It provides a first-order asymptotic analysis of the proposed kernel estimator for Poisson processes, supplemented by empirical work to probe the behaviour in finite samples and under other generative regimes. The investigation highlights the scope for finite-sample improvements by allowing the bandwidth to adapt to local curvature.
