Abstract

Shot noise processes form an important class of stochastic processes modeling phenomena which occur as shocks to a system and with effects that diminish over time. In this paper we present extreme value results for two cases — a homogeneous Poisson process of shocks and a non-homogeneous Poisson process with periodic intensity function. Shocks occur with a random amplitude having either a gamma or Weibull density and dissipate via a compactly supported impulse response function. This work continues work of Hsing and Teugels (1989) and Doney and O'Brien (1991) to the case of random amplitudes.
