Abstract
We propose a general form to analyze the space-time interdependency of continuous space-time stochastic processes. We present a new space-time approach based on the intensity function of the underlying point process. These formulations can be, to some extent, analytically solved to obtain explicit formulae of interest. We define a general function that controls the space-time interaction and allows for closed forms depending on the particular choice of several mathematical tools playing a role in this interaction function. In particular, we make use of copulas and Laplace transforms to provide interesting examples of the dynamics of the random intensity function and, in turn, of the number of points contained in a given region.
