| The [[Cox process]] is an extension of this model where ''λ''(''t'') itself can be a stochastic process.
| |
| | |
| ==Definition==
| |
| Write <math>N(t)</math> for the number of events by time <math>t</math>. A [[stochastic process]] is an inhomogeneous Poisson process for some small value <math>h</math> if:<ref name="ross">{{cite book|title=Simulation|first=Sheldon M.|last=Ross|publisher=Academic Press|year=2006|isbn=0-12-598063-9|page=32}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=

| # <math>N(0)=0</math>
| |
| # Non-overlapping increments are independent
| |
| # <math>P(N(t+h)-N(t)=1) = \lambda(t) h + o(h)</math>
| |
| # <math>P(N(t+h)-N(t)>1) = o(h)</math>
| |
| | |
| for all ''t'' and where, in [[little o notation]], <math>\scriptstyle \frac {o(h)}{h} \rightarrow 0\; \mathrm{as}\, h\, \rightarrow 0</math>.
| |
| In the case of point processes with refractoriness (e.g., neural spike trains) a stronger version of property 4 applies:<ref>{{cite journal|author = L. Citi, D. Ba, E.N. Brown, and R. Barbieri|title = Likelihood methods for point processes with refractoriness|journal=Neural Computation|year=2014|doi=10.1162/NECO_a_00548|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/NECO_a_00548}}</ref> <math>P(N(t+h)-N(t)>1) = o(h^2)</math>.

| | |
| ==Properties==
| |
| | |
| Write ''N''(''t'') for the number of events by time ''t'' and <math>\scriptstyle m(t) = \int_0^{t} \lambda (u)\text{d}u</math> for the mean. Then ''N''(''t'') has a [[Poisson distribution]] with parameter ''m''(''t''), that is for ''k'' = 0, 1, 2, 3….<ref>{{cite doi|10.1007/1-84628-295-0_5}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathbb P(N(t)=k) = \frac{m(t)^k}{k!}e^{-m(t)}.</math>
| |
| | |
| ==Fitting==
| |
| | |
| Traffic on the [[AT&T]] long distance network was shown to be described by a inhomogeneous Poisson process with piecewise linear rate function.<ref>{{cite doi|10.1007/BF02112523}}</ref> Ordinary least squares, iterative weighted least squares and maximum likelihood methods were evaluated and maximum likelihood shown to perform best overall for the data.
| |
| | |
| ==Simulation==
| |
| | |
| To simulate a inhomogeneous Poisson process with intensity function ''λ''(''t''), choose a sufficiently large ''λ'' so that ''λ''(''t'') = ''λ p''(''t'') and simulate a Poisson process with rate parameter ''λ''. Accept an event from the Poisson simulation at time ''t'' with probability ''p''(''t'').<ref name="ross" /><ref>{{cite doi|10.1002/nav.3800260304}}</ref> For a [[log-linear]] rate function a more efficient method was published by Lewis and Shedler in 1975.<ref>{{cite doi|10.1093/biomet/63.3.501}}</ref>
