Stein estimation of the intensity of a spatial homogeneous Poisson point process

چکیده
In this paper, we revisit the original ideas of Stein and propose an estimator of the intensity parameter of a homogeneous Poisson point process defined on Rd and observed on a bounded window. The procedure is based on a new integration by parts formula for Poisson point processes. We show that our Stein estimator outperforms the maximum likelihood estimator in terms of mean squared error. In many practical situations, we obtain a gain larger than 30%.

Bayesian change point estimation in Poisson-based control charts
Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to formulate the change point where there exists a step < /div> change, a linear trend and a known multip...
متن کاملOn an estimation problem for type I censored spatial Poisson processes
In this paper we consider the problem of estimating the intensity of a spatial homogeneous Poisson process if a part of the observations [quadrat counts] is censored. The actual problem has occurred during a court case when one of the authors was a referee for the defense.

Change point estimation in the area of statistical process control has received considerable attentions in the recent decades because it helps process engineer to identify and remove assignable causes as quickly as possible. On the other hand, improving in measurement systems and data storage, lead to taking observations very close to each other in time and as a result increasing autocorrelatio...
