Abstract
The Poisson process can be considered as an appropriate model for a collection of event streams such as residence histories or dwelling tenure series. However, the statistical analysis of Poisson models is complicated by the possible existence of heterogeneity and nonstationarity, and this paper notes the lack of tests which are available to investigate this. Likelihood ratio tests are developed and applied to some dwelling tenure series.Keywords
