Six Poisson autoregressive models of order p [PAR(p)] of daily wildland arson ignition counts are estimated for five … locations in Florida (1994-2001). In addition, a fixed effects time-series Poisson model of annual arson counts is estimated for … all Florida counties (1995-2001). PAR(p) model estimates reveal highly significant arson ignition autocorrelation, lasting …
