A model for spatial survival

M. S. Finkelstein

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2003, vol. 62, issue 4, 371-378

Abstract: This paper presents a general approach for analysing spatial survival in the plane. Two types of initial random events are considered: points with fixed coordinates and moving points. A small normally or tangentially oriented interval is moving along a fixed route in the plane, crossing points of initial Poisson random processes. Each crossing leads to the termination of the process with a given probability. The probability of passing the route without termination is derived. A safety at sea application is discussed.
