Abstract:
We consider the environmental pollution model. In the model, the undesired chemical is released from an unknown location by a Poisson process with unknown intensity. Actually, in many cases, it is not possible to directly observe the concentration of undesired chemical. The problem is to find consistent estimators of unknown source of the pollution and unknown intensity and predict the pollution distribution based on the observed data. For the problem, we develop an estimation procedure, construct an approximating filter and establish its asymptotic properties.
