Abstract: Suppose that a nonhomogeneous Poisson process is observed for a length of time T, say Let λ (t) denote the mean value function of the process. It is assumed that λ (t) is first increasing then decreasing inside the interval (0, T) with peak at t = t0, say. Three methods are given for estimating to. One of these methods is nonparametric, and the other two methods are based on the standard regression technique and the maximum likelihood principle The given resull has application in a problem of determining the azimuth of a target from the radar‐impulse data. The time series of incoming signals may be approximated by the occurrence of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process with mean value function λ (t). The azimuth of the target is reasonably determined from the direction of the axis of the radar beam at the instant to, corresponding to the peak value of λ (t).
