ESTIMATION OF THE PERIODIC FUNCTION IN THE MULTIPLICATIVE
INTENSITY MODEL
Abstract: Given a point process with the stochastic intensity of the
form it is shown that using the sieves technique one can construct a
strongly consistent maximum likelihood estimator of the functional factor The
latter is assumed to be periodic with the known period and the ”censoring
process” fulfills some mild regularity assumptions. As an easy consequence it
follows that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) can similarly be computed if
are not independent and identically distributed but satisfy
some mixing conditions.
