Abstract

This paper studies estimation issues for Poisson shot noise models from a data history observed on a discrete-time lattice. Optimal estimating function methods in the sense of Godambe (1985) are developed for the case when the impulse response function of the shot process is interval similar; moment methods are explored for compactly supported impulse responses. Asymptotic normality of the proposed estimates is established and the limiting covariance of the estimates is derived. Applications of the methods to several parametric shot function types are presented.
