If the elements are independent sentences, as in your example, then you should use full stops. An example:

> In the present article we prove that:  
> \* our model is correct.  
> \* The model by other authors is not correct. Such model also shows some other issues, discussed below.  
> \* Collecting data is a difficult and laborious task.

In some situations such as having slightly related sentences, you may use semicolons. An example:

> In the present article we prove that:  
> \* our model is correct;  
> \* the model outperforms other models;  
> \* small variations to the model do not affect performance.
