Point estimation of distribution parameters is considered for a three-parameter compound Poisson process. Formulas are derived for moment method estimation, including estimate biases and the covariance matrix. Asymptotic efficiency of the parameter estimates with a series informant is examined. The efficiency of moment method estimation is computed and analyzed for typical parameter values.
519.233.24 For the compound Poisson law generalized by the negative binomial distribution we derive the explicit representation of the probability function, the finite-difference recurrence, and expressions for the derivatives with respect to all parameters. Explicit representations of ordinary and factorial cumulants to sixth order are given and asymptotic normality of the distribution is proved. The distribution functions are constructed and analyzed for the most typical parameter values. Used to solve direct and inverse problems by moment methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
