| contents | Multi-type Markov point processes offer a flexible framework for modelling complex multi-type point patterns where it is pertinent to capture both interactions between points as well as large scale trends depending on observed covariates. However, estimation of interaction and covariate effects may be seriously biased in the presence of unobserved spatial confounders. In this paper we introduce a new class of semi-parametric Markov point processes that adjusts for spatial confounding through a non-parametric factor that accommodates effects of latent spatial variables common to all types of points. We introduce a conditional pseudo likelihood for parameter estimation and show that the resulting estimator has desirable asymptotic properties. Our methodology not least has great potential in studies of industry agglomeration and we apply it to study spatial patterns of locations of two types of banks in France. |
