Abstract:
|
Non-homogenous Poisson process (NHPP) under time-truncated sampling scheme is considered. A closed formula for the expected time of arrival of the first event after a truncated time T, is expressed as a function of intensity function. A non-informative prior as well as gamma priors for Power Law intensity function are used to obtain Bayes estimates of the expected time. For illustration purposes, the proposed method is applied to a data set on software failures, and a program with Mathematica source code for computation of the estimates is provided.
