Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

On the computation and application of point process prototypes

Accepted 2009, SCEC Contribution #1283

This work discusses computational problems related to the implementation of Victor and Purpura’s spike time distance metric for point processes. Three algorithms for calculation of spike-time distance are examined as are a number of properties and extensions of the spike-time metric. Extensions include prototype point patterns that can be used for describing a typical point pattern and various clustering algorithms that can be applied to point process data through use of spike-time distance and prototype patterns.
