A new characterization of the jump rate for piecewise-deterministic Markov processes with discrete transitions

Piecewise-deterministic Markov processes form a general class of non-diffusion stochastic models that involve both deterministic trajectories and random jumps at random times. In [5], we state a new characterization of the jump rate of such a process with discrete transitions. We deduce from this result a nonparametric technique for estimating this feature of interest. We state the uniform convergence in probability of the estimator. The methodology is illustrated on a numerical example.
