| contents | We propose a random forest estimator for the intensity of spatial point processes, applicable with or without covariates. It retains the well-known advantages of a random forest approach, including the ability to handle a large number of covariates, out-of-bag cross-validation, and variable importance assessment. Importantly, even in the absence of covariates, it requires no border correction and adapts naturally to irregularly shaped domains and manifolds. Consistency and convergence rates are established under various asymptotic regimes, revealing the benefit of using covariates when available. Numerical experiments illustrate the methodology and demonstrate that it performs competitively with state-of-the-art methods. |
