Abstract

We consider the possibility of optimal choice of observation window in the problem of parameter estimation by the observations of an inhomogeneous Poisson process. A minimax lower bound is proposed for the risk of estimation under an arbitrary choice of observation window. Then the adaptive procedure is proposed which is asymptotically efficient in the sense of this bound.
