Renewal Hawkes Process

The renewal Hawkes (RHawkes) process (Wheatley, Filimonov, and Sornette, 2016 ) is an extension to the classical Hawkes self-exciting point process widely used in the modelling of clustered event sequence data. This package provides functions to simulate the RHawkes process with a given immigrant hazard rate function and offspring birth time density function, to compute the exact likelihood of a RHawkes process using the recursive algorithm proposed by Chen and Stindl (2018) , to compute the Rosenblatt residuals for goodness-of-fit assessment, and to predict future event times based on observed event times up to a given time. A function implementing the linear time RHawkes process likelihood approximation algorithm proposed in Stindl and Chen (2021) is also included.
