In this thesis, we assume observing a pair of trajectories of two objects which could interact with one another and we want to propose a way to test their independence. We formulate basic point process definitions and discuss ways to describe trajectory data. We formulate the theory behind Monte Carlo tests and global envelope testing. In Chapter 2, we propose a parametric model to represent trajectories and derive Maximum Likelihood estimates of its model. We conclude the chapter by exploring the performance of these estimates. In Chapter 3, we propose test statistics used to test for independence using a nonparametric Monte Carlo test based on a random shift approach. We perform a simulation study to assess the performance of these statistics under various conditions and discuss the selection of fine-tuning parameters. Finally, in Chapter 4, we study real data provided by the Voyageurs Wolf Project and apply the proposed tests on real wolf trajectories. 1
