• A Self-limiting Hawkes Process: Interpretation, Estimation, and Use in Modeling 

  Olinde, John Garnier (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-04-28)

  Many real life processes that we would like to model have a self-exciting property, i.e. the occurrence of one event causes a temporary spike in the probability of other events occurring nearby in space and time. Examples ...
