Variate Generation For Nonhomogeneous Poisson Processes With Time Dependent Covariates, Li-Hsing Shih, Lawrence Leemis
Arts & Sciences Articles
Algorithms are developed for generating a sequence of event times from a nonhomogeneous Poisson process that is influenced by the values of covariates that vary with time. Closed form expressions for random variate generation are shown for several baseline intensity and link functions. Two specific models linking the baseline process to the general model are considered: the accelerated time model and the proportional intensity model. In the accelerated time model, the cumulative intensity function of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process under covariate effects is [formula], where z is a covariate vector, ⋀0(t) is the baseline cumulative intensity function and …
