Abstract

The concept of θ-stationarity for a simple second-order point process in R2 is introduced. This concept is closely related to that of isotropy. Some θ-stationary processes are defined. Techniques are given for simulating realisations of these processes. The second-order analysis of these processes which have an obvious point of reference or origin is considered. Methods are suggested for modelling spatial patterns which are realisations of such processes. These methods are illustrated using simulated data. The ideas are extended to multitype point processes.
