  • Abstract
    A new class of multiscale multidimensional stochastic processes called spatial random trees was recently introduced in J. Pollak et al. (2003). The model is based on multiscale stochastic trees with stochastic structure as well as stochastic states. In this work, we describe a method for estimating the parameters of the process.
