A Doubly Winsorized Poisson Auto-model

  • Published : 1998.08.01

Abstract

This paper introduces doubly Winsorized Poisson auto-model by truncating the support of a Poisson random variable both from above and below, and shows that this model has a same form of negpotential function as regular Poisson auto-model and one-way Winsorized Poisson auto-model. Strategies for maximum likelihood estimation of parameters are discussed. In addition to exact maximum likelihood estimation, Monte Carlo maximum likelihood estimation may be applied to this model.
