Efficient Bayesian Nonparametric Modelling of Structured Point Processes

25 Jul 2014  ·  Tom Gunter, Chris Lloyd, Michael A. Osborne, Stephen J. Roberts ·

This paper presents a Bayesian generative model for dependent Cox point processes, alongside an efficient inference scheme which scales as if the point processes were modelled independently. We can handle missing data naturally, infer latent structure, and cope with large numbers of observed processes. A further novel contribution enables the model to work effectively in higher dimensional spaces. Using this method, we achieve vastly improved predictive performance on both 2D and 1D real data, validating our structured approach.
