TY  - JOUR
AB - It is often assumed that events cannot occur simultaneously when modelling data with pointprocesses. This raises a problem as real-world dataoften contains synchronous observations due to aggregation or rounding, resulting from limitations onrecording capabilities and the expense of storing highvolumes of precise data. In order to gain a better understanding of the relationships between processes,we consider modelling the aggregated event data using multivariate Hawkes processes, which offer a description of mutually-exciting behaviour and havefound wide applications in areas including seismology and finance. Here we generalise existing methodology on parameter estimation of univariate aggregated Hawkes processes to the multivariate case using a Monte Carlo Expectation-Maximization (MCEM) algorithm and through a simulation study illustrate that alternative approaches to this problemcan be severely biased, with the multivariate MCEM method outperforming them in terms of MSE inall considered cases.
