Abstract
Methods used to estimate the parameters of a nonstationary decaying Poisson pulse flow are briefly reviewed. Expressions for the statistical error of estimates are derived and the method of maximum likelihood is proposed for effective, consistent, and unbiased estimates. The results are described of the simulation of a biexponential nonstationary signal with background and its processing by the maximum likelihood method.
