Adaptive estimation of the intensity of inhomogeneous Poisson processes via concentration inequalities

چکیده
In this paper, we establish oracle inequalities for penalized projection estimators of the intensity of an inhomogeneous Poisson process. We study consequently the adaptive properties of penalized projection estimators. At first we provide lower bounds for the minimax risk over various sets of smoothness for the intensity and then we prove that our estimators achieve these lower bounds up to some constants. The crucial tools to obtain the oracle inequalities are new concentration inequalities for suprema of integral functionals of Poisson processes which are analogous to Talagrand’s inequalities for empirical processes.

Bayesian semiparametric intensity estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes.
In this work we propose a fully Bayesian semiparametric method to estimate the intensity of an inhomogeneous spatial point process. The basic idea is to first convert intensity estimation into a Poisson regression setting via binning data points on a regular grid, and then model the log intensity semiparametrically using an adaptive version of Gaussian Markov random fields to smooth the corresp...

متن کاملTwo-step estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes
This paper is concerned with parameter estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes with a regression model for the intensity function and tractable second order properties (K-function). Regression parameters are estimated using a Poisson likelihood score estimating function and in a second step minimum contrast estimation is applied for the residual clustering parameters. Asymptotic no...
متن کاملPoisson-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...
متن کاملAuxiliary Gibbs Sampling for Inference in Piecewise-Constant Conditional Intensity Models
A piecewise-constant conditional intensity model (PCIM) is a non-Markovian model of temporal stochastic dependencies in continuoustime event streams. It allows efficient learning and forecasting given complete trajectories. However, no general inference algorithm has been developed for PCIMs. We propose an effective and efficient auxiliary Gibbs sampler for inference in PCIM, based on the idea ...
