Summary on Grant Application Form
This research concerns the application of simulation methods to the study of random processes of points and geometric objects (stochastic geometry). Recent advances in related problems in computer science have been applied by the proposer to produce exact or perfect simulation methods for suitable point processes. We will develop and explore this innovation, apply it to a perfect treatment of edge effects, and use it as a framework for diagnostics for Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods in a more general statistical context.
