Exact Statistical Inference for Some Parametric Nonhomogeneous Poisson Processes
Nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPPs) are often used to model recurrent events, and there is thus a need to check model fit for such models. We study the problem of obtaining exact goodness-of-fit tests for certain parametric NHPPs, using a method based on Monte Carlo simulation conditional on sufficient statistics. A closely related way of obtaining exact confidence intervals in parametri...
متن کاملPoisson Processes for Neuroscientists
This note is an introduction to the key properties of Poisson processes, which are extensively used to simulate spike trains. For being mathematical idealizations, Poisson processes rely on some simplifying assumptions that limit their scope of application. The best way to understand these limitations is perhaps by constructing the Poisson process gradually starting from the intuitively clear s...
متن کاملPoisson approximations for functionals of random trees
We use Poisson approximation techniques for sums of indicator random variables to derive explicit error bounds and central limit theorems for several functionals of random trees. In particular, we consider (i) the number of comparisons for successful and unsuccessful search in a binary search tree and (ii) internode distances in increasing trees. The Poisson approximation setting is shown to be...
متن کاملSaddlepoint Approximations for Extended Poisson Process Models
The saddlepoint approximation to the probabilities of a general time-homogenous birth process, as derived by Daniels 6 , is revisited. Of interest is the accuracy of the approximation for extended Poisson process models constructed from state-dependent birth processes. Numerical calculations are used to examine the accuracy of the probability approximation for a range of state-dependent models,...
متن کاملModel selection for Poisson processes
Our purpose in this paper is to apply the general methodology for model selection based on T-estimators developed in Birgé (2006a) to the particular situation of the estimation of the unknown mean measure of a Poisson process. We introduce a Hellinger type distance between finite positive measures to serve as our loss function and we build suitable tests between balls (with respect to this dist...
