Bayesian Estimation of Multivariate Hawkes Processes with Inhibition and Sparsity

Hawkes processes are point processes that model data where events occur in clusters through the self-exciting property of the intensity function. We consider a multivariate setting where multiple dimensions can influence each other with intensity function to allow for excitation and inhibition, both within and across dimensions. We discuss how such a model can be implemented and highlight challenges in the estimation procedure induced by a potentially negative intensity function. Furthermore, we introduce a new, stronger condition for stability that encompasses current approaches established in the literature. Finally, we examine the total number of offsprings to reparametrise the model and subsequently use Normal and sparsity-inducing priors in a Bayesian estimation procedure on simulated data.
