Abstract: |
In this paper we present a perfect simulation method for obtaining perfect samples from collections of correlated Poisson random variables conditioned to be positive. We show how to use this method to produce a perfect sample from a Boolean model conditioned to cover a set of points: in \cite{KendallThoennes-1997} this special case was treated in a more complicated way. The method is applied to several simple examples where exact calculations can be made, so as to check correctness of the program using \(\chi ^2\)-tests, and some small-scale experiments are carried out to explore the behaviour of the conditioned Boolean model. |
