Abstract

Spatial point patterns are a commonly recorded form of data in ecology, medicine, astronomy, criminology, epidemiology and many other application fields. One way to understand their second order dependence structure is via their spectral density function. However, unlike time series analysis, for point patterns such approaches are currently underutilized. In part, this is because the interpretation of the spectral representation of the underlying point processes is challenging. In this paper, we demonstrate how to band-pass filter point patterns, thus enabling us to explore the spectral representation of point patterns in space by isolating the signal corresponding to certain sets of wavenumbers.
