Abstract:
This primer provides a self-contained exposition of the case where spatial birth-and-death processes are used for perfect
simulation of locally stable point processes. Particularly, a simple dominating coupling from the past (CFTP) algorithm and
the CFTP algorithms introduced in 13], 14], and 5] are studied. Some empirical results for the algorithms are discussed.
