Abstract: Patterns of points in three-dimensional space, as well as those occurring in both space and time, have growing attention in data description methods. Three-dimensional geometry is particularly important in geology and astronomy, while examples of spatio-temporal point patterns are available in epidemiology (e.g., for disease surveillance), seismology, and anatomy (e.g., video microscopy). Modelling three-dimensional point processes can serve as a convenient way to analyze such complex phenomena across various fields. The aim is to provide an overview of this topic, exploring the fundamental concepts of point processes, including practical applications. Specialized models for analyzing complex spatiotemporal point patterns are presented, specifically designed for the analysis of patterns that occur in a subset of the Euclidean space or on some specific linear network, such as roads of a city. The main aim of fitting such models is, indeed, to better understand the distribution and interaction of events in a three-dimensional space.
