Replicated Computations Results (RCR) Report for “MNO--PQRS: Max Nonnegativity Ordering—Piecewise-Quadratic Rate Smoothing”
Article No.: 18RCRR, Pages 1 - 2
Abstract
The article “MNOPQRS: Max Nonnegativity Ordering—Piecewise-Quadratic Rate Smoothing” by Chen and Schmeiser constructs a smooth piecewise-quadratic rate estimate for a nonhomogeneuous Poisson process based on event counts over k adjacent time intervals. The event times can be generated by generating a Poisson process with unit rate and inverting the cumulative rate function or by the thinning technique. The overall algorithm has O(k2) time complexity and O(k) space requirements in the number of intervals. This replicated computation report focuses on the reproducibility of the experimental results in the aforementioned article.

MNO--PQRS: Max Nonnegativity Ordering—Piecewise-Quadratic Rate Smoothing
In both cyclic and finite-horizon contexts, piecewise-constant rate functions are commonly encountered in models with nonhomogeneous Poisson processes. We develop an algorithm, with no user-specified parameters, that returns a smoother rate function ...
Piecewise quadratic trigonometric polynomial curves
Analogous to the quadratic B-spline curve, a piecewise quadratic trigonometric polynomial curve is presented in this paper. The quadratic trigonometric polynomial curve has C2 continuity, while the quadratic B-spline curve has C1 continuity. The ...
Mise-optimal intervals for MNO-PQRS estimators of poisson rate functions
WSC '19: Proceedings of the Winter Simulation ConferenceA Poisson point process is characterized by its rate function. One family of rate-function approximations is the authors' MNO--PQRS, which is based on a piecewise-quadratic function for each equal-width time interval. Fitting MNO--PQRS is based on the ...
