Poisson change-point posterior

ID: poisson-change-point-posterior

For an Inhomogeneous Poisson process whose known positive intensity changes from to at an unknown time , the ordered arrival-time likelihood function is
Under a uniform prior, each interval between successive arrivals has an exponential posterior density with rate in the exponent . Its integrated weights allow exact interval selection followed by a truncated exponential draw; when the two rates coincide, the Bayesian posterior is uniform and the data contain no change-time information.
