Optimal estimation of Poisson intensity with partially observed covariates

摘要

Rathbun et al. (2007) and Waagepetersen (2008) propose estimating functions for parameters of Poisson point process intensity that may be applied when space- and/or time-varying covariates are sampled from a probability-based sampling design. This paper demonstrates that Waageptersen's estimating function is optimal in a class of weighted estimating functions.
