Extract

In this paper we develop maximum likelihood procedures for parameter estimation and hypothesis testing for three classes of point processes that have been used to model rainfall occurrences; renewal processes, Neyman-Scott processes, and RCM processes (which are members of the family of Cox processes). The statistical inference procedures developed in this paper are based on the intensity process
