Specification Tests for the Poisson Distribution with a Stochastic Parameter

نویسنده

  • Simos G. Meintanis
چکیده

A new method is proposed for testing the mixed Poisson model which employs the well known identity between the probability generating function of the mixed Poisson distribution and the Laplace transform of the mixing distribution. The method utilizes a weighted L2-type statistic which may be easily calculated and the resulting test is consistent against general alternatives. A limit statistic is shown to be related to earlier methods which employ moment-based contrasts. Some simulation results are also shown.

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...

Exact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean

 ‎A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data‎. ‎So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice‎. ‎Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult‎. ‎So far‎, ‎many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided‎. ‎It is known that the coverag...

The Exponentiated Poisson-Lindley Distribution; Features and Applications in Reliability

Abstract. In this paper a new three-parameter lifetime distribution named “the Exponentialed Lindley-Poisson (E-LP) distribution” has been suggested that it has an  increasing, decreasing and invers bathtube hazard rate depending on the parameter values. The (E-LP) distribution has applications in economics, actuarial modeling, reliability modeling, lifetime and queuing problems and biological ...

Monte Carlo Comparison of Approximate Tolerance Intervals for the Poisson Distribution

The problem of finding  tolerance intervals receives very much attention of researchers and are widely used in various statistical fields, including biometry, economics, reliability analysis and quality control. Tolerance interval is a random interval  that covers a specified  proportion of the population with a specified confidence level. In this paper, we compare approximate tolerance interva...
