Suppose that I know all intensity functions lambda(t) during given period [0,t], how can I compute the mean function m(t) for non-homogeneous Poisson process?

Basically, m(t) in the integral of lambda(t) from 0 to t. Through simulation, I can actually compute all lambda(t). Is there an efficient algorithm to compute m(t)?

  • $\begingroup$ Since lambda(t) change frequently during [0,t],like hundreds of times, so lambda(t) is actually an addition of many definite integral of lambda (t) over an internal included in [0,t]. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ So, what exactly is the setup? Are you given some crazy oscillatory formula for $\lambda(t)$ (then what is it?) or something else? I still have no idea what the conditions of your problem are. $\endgroup$
