Abstract:
The periodic multiplicative intensity model is considered. A new bootstrap method for non stationary counting processes which intensity function has some periodicity properties is presented. Its main advantage is that it does not destroy the temporal order and the original periodicity of the underlying counting process. The proposed algorithm is used to construct a bootstrap version of the maximum likelihood hazard function estimator. The consistency of the bootstrap method is shown. A possible modification of the proposed bootstrap method is discussed. The bootstrap simultaneous confidence intervals for the hazard function are presented. The telecommunication network traffic real data example is discussed.
