Abstract
A program written in C is described which finds maximum likelihood estimates of regression coefficients and other relevant parameters for a point process with covariates. The data are assumed to come from a Poisson point process and may be modelled, at the user's choice, either totally parametrically or semi-parametrically. Furthermore, extra Poisson variation may be introduced, in both the parametric and semi-parametric approach, by the device of random effects. The work closely follows the theory developed by Lawless (1987).
