The ensemble of observed events is thereby modeled as a superposition of Poisson processes. Efficient inference is feasible under this model with an EM algorithm. ...
We present a probabilistic model of events in continuous time in which each event triggers a Poisson process of successor events. ...

Identifying and modeling patterns of human activity has important ramifications in applications ranging from predicting disease spread to optimizing resource allocation. ...
Because of its relevance and availability, written correspondence provides a powerful proxy for studying human activity. ...
Recall that in our cascading Poisson process, cascades of events are initiated by a homogeneous Poisson process with rate ρ and that each additional event in the cascade occurs with probability ξ ≫ ρdt ...

Poissonian bursts in e-mail correspondence
2010
European Physical Journal B : Condensed Matter Physics
Recent work has shown that the distribution of inter-event times for e-mail communication exhibits a heavy tail which is statistically consistent with a cascading Poisson process. ...

Discovering latent influence in online social activities via shared cascade poisson processes
2013
Proceedings of the 19th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining - KDD '13
An inhomogeneous Poisson process is used for modeling a sequence, in which adoption by a user triggers the subsequent adoption of the same item by other users. ...
For modeling adoption of multiple items, we employ multiple inhomogeneous Poisson processes, which share parameters, such as influence for each user and relations between users. ...
The proposed model is an extension of the cascade Poisson process [30] , which models a sequence of cascading events. ...

We also describe a practical example drawn from social media data - we show how to model retweet cascades using a Hawkes self-exciting process. ...
This chapter provides an accessible introduction for point processes, and especially Hawkes processes, for modeling discrete, inter-dependent events over continuous time. ...

Branching Process based Cascading Failure Probability Analysis for a Regional Power Grid in China with Utility Outage Data

We apply 4 well-known probabilistic models, Poisson model, Power Law model, Generalized Poisson Branching process model and Borel-Tanner Branching process model, to a 14-year utility historical outage ...
Especially, the probability distribution generated by the Poisson model deviates heavily from the observed data, underestimating the probability of large events (total no. of outages over 5) by roughly ...

Coupling Poisson rectangular pulse and multiplicative microcanonical random cascade models to generate sub-daily precipitation timeseries
2018
Journal of Hydrology
Poisson rectangular pulse models are widely applied to generate long time series of alternating precipitation events durations and mean intensities as well as interstorm period durations. ...
To simulate the impacts of within-storm rainfall variabilities on fast hydrological processes, long precipitation time series with high temporal resolution are required. ...

Beyond Models

In forecasting, a recent trend has been to forgo the use of parsimonious models in favor of models with increasingly large degrees of freedom that are trained to learn the behavior of a process from historical ...
To the best of our knowledge, SED is the first method that can perform axiomatic, model-free forecasts of complex stochastic processes. ...

Branching processes in quantum electronics
2000
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics
We describe branching processes as concatenations of basic elements that comprise filtered Poisson processes (shot noise) driving secondary Poisson processes. ...
In the presence of feedback, these elementary processes become self-exciting in nature; they are then suitable for characterizing squeezed light and sub-Poisson photon emissions. ...
We begin with the most elemental of such conceptions: the homogeneous Poisson process, shot noise, and self-exciting point processes. We end with cascaded and branching Poisson processes.

[article]
2013
arXiv
pre-print
Extending prior work in mathematical finance, this generalized thinning and shift (GTaS) model creates marginally Poisson spike trains with diverse temporal correlation structures. ...
We then show that the GTaS model is analytically tractable, and derive cumulant densities of all orders in terms of model parameters. ...
Note that IID shifting of the event times of a Poisson process generates another Poisson process of identical rate. Thus, the process X i is marginally Poisson with rate λp {i} [60] . ...
