In spatial statistics the data typically consist of measurements of some quantity at irregularly scattered locations; in other words, the data form a realization of a marked point process. In this paper, we formulate subsampling estimators of the moments of general statistics computed from marked point process data, and we establish their L 2 ‐consistency. The variance estimator in particular can be used for the construction of confidence intervals for estimated parameters. A practical data‐based method for choosing a subsampling parameter is given and illustrated on a data set. Finite sample simulation examples are also presented.
