| Abstract: | In this paper we study the Candy model, a marked point process introduced by S toica et al. (2000) . We prove Ruelle and local stability, investigate its Markov properties, and discuss how the model may be sampled. Finally, we consider estimation of the model parameters and present a simulation study. |
