Gamma Kernel Intensity Estimation in Temporal Point Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article we propose a nonparametric approach for estimating the intensity function of temporal point processes based on kernel estimators. In particular we use asymmetric kernel estimators characterized by the gamma distribution, in order to describe features of observed point patterns adequately. Some characteristics of these estimators are analyzed and discussed both through simulated results and applications to real data from different seismic catalogs.

Recursive Kernel Estimation of the Conditional Intensity of Nonstationary Point Processes
This paper develops adaptive nonparametric methods for analyzing seismic data. Kernel smoothing techniques are suitable for space-time point processes; however, they must be adapted to deal with the nonstationarity of earthquakes. By this we mean changes in the spatial and temporal pattern of point occurrences. A class of recursive kernel density and regression estimators are proposed to study ...
متن کاملComparison of the Gamma kernel and the orthogonal series methods of density estimation
The standard kernel density estimator suffers from a boundary bias issue for probability density function of distributions on the positive real line. The Gamma kernel estimators and orthogonal series estimators are two alternatives which are free of boundary bias. In this paper, a simulation study is conducted to compare small-sample performance of the Gamma kernel estimators and the orthog...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of the Multiple Change Points in Gamma Process Using X-bar chart
The process personnel always seek the opportunity to improve the processes. One of the essential steps for process improvement is to quickly recognize the starting time or the change point of a process disturbance. Different from the traditional normally distributed assumption for a process, this study considers a process which follows a gamma process. In addition, we consider the possibility o...
متن کاملOrthogonal series estimation of the pair correlation function of a spatial point process
The pair correlation function is a fundamental spatial point process characteristic that, given the intensity function, determines second order moments of the point process. Non-parametric estimation of the pair correlation function is a typical initial step of a statistical analysis of a spatial point pattern. Kernel estimators are popular but especially for clustered point patterns suffer fro...
متن کاملAsymptotic optimality of the least-squares cross-validation bandwidth for kernel estimates of intensity functions
Let X,, X2,. . . , XN be ordered observations on the interval [0, T] from a nonstationary Poisson process with intensity function A(x). In this paper, we consider the estimation of A(x). N, the number of observations that occur in the interval [0, T], has a Poisson distribution with E[ N] = jl A(U) du. See Cox and Isham (1980) and Diggle (1983) for further information regarding point processes....
