Asymptotic Methods for Random Tessellations

In this chapter, we are interested in two classical examples of random tessellations which are the Poisson hyperplane tessellation and Poisson–Voronoi tessellation. The first section introduces the main definitions, the application of an ergodic theorem a

Foreword

Geometric intuition is central to many areas of statistics and probabilistic arguments. This is particularly true in the areas covered by this book, namely stochastic geometry, random fields and random geometric graphs. Nevertheless, intuition must be followed with rigorous arguments if it is to become part of the general literature of probability and statistics. Many such arguments in this area deviate from traditional statistics, requiring special (and often beautiful) tools outsid
