Simulation Procedures and Likelihood Inference for Spatial Point Processes

An alternative algorithm to the usual birth-and-death procedure for simulating spatial point processes is introduced. The algorithm is used in a discussion of unconditional versus conditional likelihood inference for parametric models of spatial point processes.
