A System-Theoretic Approach to Hawkes Process Identification with Guaranteed Positivity and Stability
保证正性与稳定性的 Hawkes 过程系统理论识别方法
The Hawkes process models self-exciting event streams, requiring a strictly non-negative and stable stochastic intensity. Standard identification methods enforce these properties using non-negative causal bases, yielding conservative parameter constraints and severely ill-conditioned least-squares Gram matrices at higher model orders. To overcome this, we introduce a system-theoretic identification framework utilizing the sign-indefinite orthonormal Laguerre basis, which…
