Sparse Approximate Inference for Spatio-Temporal Point Process Models
时空点过程模型的稀疏近似推断
Spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox process models play a central role in the analysis of spatially distributed systems in several disciplines. Yet, scalable inference remains computationally challenging both due to the high-resolution modeling generally required and the analytically intractable likelihood function. Here, we exploit the sparsity structure typical of (spatially) discretized log-Gaussian Cox process models by using approximate message-passing algorithms. The…
