Abstract

Spatial point processes are considered whose points are subjected to certain classes of affine transformations indexed by some variable, T. Under some hypotheses, for large T integrals with respect to such a point process behave approximately as if the process were Poisson. Under stronger hypotheses, the transformed process converges as a process to a Poisson process. The result gives the asymptotic distribution of certain density estimates.
