Local polynomial estimation of the intensity of a doubly stochastic Poisson process with bandwidth selection procedure

Abstract

We consider a doubly stochastic Poisson process with stochastic intensity λt=nq(Xt)\lambda_t =n q\left(X_t\right) where XX is a continuous It\^o semimartingale and nn is an integer. Both processes are observed continuously over a fixed period [0,T]\left[0,T\right]. An estimation procedure is proposed in a non parametrical setting for the function qq on an interval II where XX is sufficiently observed using a local polynomial estimator. A method to select the bandwidth in a non asymptotic framework is proposed, leading to an oracle inequality. If mm is the degree of the chosen polynomial, the accuracy of our estimator over the H\"older class of order β\beta is nβ2β+1n^{\frac{-\beta}{2\beta+1}} if mβm \geq \lfloor \beta \rfloor and it is optimal in the minimax sense if mβm \geq \lfloor \beta \rfloor. A parametrical test is also proposed to test if qq belongs to some parametrical family. Those results are applied to French temperature and electricity spot prices data where we infer the intensity of electricity spot spikes as a function of the temperature.
