Abstract
In this talk, we revisit the original ideas of Stein and propose an estimator of the intensity parameter of a homogeneous Poisson point process defined on R^d and observed on a bounded window. The procedure is based on a new integration by parts formula for Poisson point processes. We show that our Stein estimator outperforms the maximum likelihood estimator in terms of mean squared error. In many practical situations, we obtain a gain larger than 30%.
