Se p 20 05 Estimation of the Memory Parameter of the Infinite Source Poisson Process

چکیده
Long range dependence induced by heavy tails is a widely reported feature of internet traffic. Long range dependence can be defined as the regular variation of the variance of the integrated process, and half the index of regular variation is then refered to as the Hurst index. The infinite source Poisson process (a particular case of which is the M/G/∞ queue) is a simple and popular model with this property, when the tail of the service time distribution is regularly varying. The Hurst index of the infinite source Poisson process is then related to the index of regular variation of the service times. In this paper, we present a wavelet based estimator of the Hurst index of this process, when it is observed either continously or discretely over an increasing time interval. Our estimator is shown to be consistent and robust to some form of nonstationarity. Its rate of convergence is investigated.

Fractional Poisson Process
For almost two centuries, Poisson process with memoryless property of corresponding exponential distribution served as the simplest, and yet one of the most important stochastic models. On the other hand, there are many processes that exhibit long memory (e.g., network traffic and other complex systems). It would be useful if one could generalize the standard Poisson process to include these p...

متن کاملEstimation of AR Parameters in the Presence of Additive Contamination in the Infinite Variance Case
If we try to estimate the parameters of the AR process {Xn} using the observed process {Xn+Zn} then these estimates will be badly biased and not consistent but we can minimize the damage using a robust estimation procedure such as GM-estimation. The question is does additive contamination affect estimates of “core” parameters in the infinite variance case to the same extent that it does in the ...
متن کاملBayesian 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...
