Variational Bayes approach for classification of points in superpositions of point processes
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2016

We investigate the problem of classifying superpositions of spatial point processes. In particular, we are interested in realizations formed as a superposition of a regular point process and a Poisson point process. The aim is to decide which of the two processes each point belongs to. Recently, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach was suggested by Redenbach et al. (2015), which however, is computationally heavy. In this paper, we will introduce a method based on variational Bayes approximation and compare its performance to the performance of a slightly refined version of the MCMC approach.
