On an Argmax-Distribution Connected to the Poisson Process

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Contributions to Statistics ((CONTRIB.STAT.))

Abstract

Let Πγ(t) be a Poisson process with parameter γ < 1. We determine the distribution of argmaxt 0Πγ(t) — t. This distribution appears as asymptotic distribution of maximum-likelihood estimates and and other stochastic optimizers. We also consider the distribution of argmaxt0t — Πγ(t) for γ > 1.
