A modelling method for the intensity of a DSPP is proposed. A first step consists on estimating discrete sample paths of it from observed ones of the DSPP, then a continuous modelling is derived by means of Functional Principal Component Analysis. The method is validated by a simulation. Finally, it is applied to the real process of the mortgages in Spain discussing the interpretation of the principal components and factors.}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Doubly Stochastic Poisson Process}, keywords = {Point Estimation}, keywords = {Functional Principal Component}, keywords = {Mortgages}, title = {On the structure of the stochastic process of mortgages in Spain}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s00180-006-0252-0}, author = {Rodríguez Bouzas, Paula and Aguilera Del Pino, Ana María and Valderrama Bonnet, Mariano José and Ruiz-Fuentes, Nuria}, }
