Ph.D. thesis
From December 1996 to December 1999 I have done my Ph.D. studies at the Department of Mathematics and
Physics, The Royal
Veterinary and Agricultural University (KVL), Denmark. The work is
described in the following thesis:
Statistical inference
and perfect simulation
for point processes observed with noise
Jens Lund
December 1999
Online summary of ph.d. thesis.
(An older report Spatial
models related to trees for a ph.d. midterm seminar also
describes the ph.d. project. An online version of the
report with some quirks is also present.)
The defence was on Friday 25th
February, 2000.

January 2000: The idea presented here has turned out not to work. It
produces samples from the wrong distribution. Please read Section 3.4
in the introductory part of the thesis to get
an idea of what goes wrong. If you still want a copy, please contact me.
You can get a printed version of the thesis by contacting me.
Please, also have a look at my list of publications,
where updated versions of the papers in the thesis will be available.
