On the Merge edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I would advocate strongly for the merge since it is confusing to call one thing by two names: 2 dimensional examples of a Poisson Point Process (PPP) versus a Spatial Poisson Process (SPP). I don't see the advantage of repeating formulas and discussions that are virtually identical. The current PPP article is now small and doing this now will save trouble later. In fact, and subject to reviewing the articles, it may be that the little matter in the PPP article can easily be absorbed in the SPP page (though there is a valuable reference in PPP not mentioned in SPP). However, I do prefer the nomenclature "Poisson Point Process" for such a merge and a multidimensional generalization which will require careful editing. I don't think at this point in time I would add anything to either page (e.g. Cramer-Rao bounds) until they are combined. Juan Riley (talk) 20:45, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to merge this with the Poisson point process article, which I just heavily revised. Later, if we feel the need for a separate article on the spatial Poisson process, we can create one, but I think most of what is covered here is covered in the general article.

Definition: The second property (independence) follows from tbe first (Poisson distribution of the number of points in subset), so only the first one should be used in the definition. The second should be mentioned as a consequence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.97.140.148 (talk) 17:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
