Placeholder notes for a type of point process, with which I am unfamiliar, but about which I am incidentally curious.
This is, AFAICT, a point process whose intensity is a squared Gaussian process. The term permanental is because the matrix permanent arises somewhere in the model of this process although I know not where. (Walder and Bishop 2017) From some incidental comments at a seminar I presumed the permanental process was actually a Gibbs point process (i.e. determined by interactions between points not a latent process) like its determinantal cousin and I am surprised to find otherwise.
