Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Vol. 18, No. 1 (1991), pp. 39-50 (12 pages) An iterative stochastic approximation to the maximum likelihood estimate is developed for the Strauss point process. We ...
Our main result is to prove almost-sure convergence of a stochastic-approximation algorithm defined on the space of measures on a noncompact space. Our motivation is to apply this result to ...
