Model selection for Poisson processes

چکیده

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 distance) in the set of mean measures. As a consequence of the existence of such tests, given a suitable family of approximating models, we can build T-estimators for the mean measure based on this family of models and analyze their performances. We provide a number of applications to adaptive intensity estimation when the square root of the intensity belongs to various smoothness classes. We also give a method for aggregation of preliminary estimators.

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...

Poisson-Lindley INAR(1) Processes: Some Estimation and Forecasting Methods

This paper focuses on different methods of estimation and forecasting in first-order integer-valued autoregressive processes with Poisson-Lindley (PLINAR(1)) marginal distribution. For this purpose, the parameters of the model are estimated using Whittle, maximum empirical likelihood and sieve bootstrap methods. Moreover, Bayesian and sieve bootstrap forecasting methods are proposed and predict...

کاربرد مدل رگرسیون پواسنی تعمیم یافته در تحلیل داده‌های باروری زنان روستایی استان فارس

Background & objectives: statistical modeling explicates the observed changes in data by means of mathematics equations. In cases that dependent variable is count, Poisson model is applied. If Poisson model is not applicable in a specific situation, it is better to apply the generalized Poisson model. So, our emphasis in this study is to notice the data structure, introducing the generalized Po...

Drift Change Point Estimation in the rate and dependence Parameters of Autocorrelated Poisson Count Processes Using MLE Approach: An Application to IP Counts Data

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...

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...
