A conditional Poisson process (often called a double stochastic Poisson process) is characterized as a random time transformation of a Poisson process with unit intensity. This characterization is used to exhibit the jump times and sizes of these processes, and to study their limiting behavior. A conditional Poisson process, whose intensity is a function of a Markov process, is discussed. Results similar to those presented can be obtained for any process with conditional stationary independent increments.

A sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables with success probabilities a / (a + b + k − 1), k = 1, 2, 3, …, is embedded in a marked Poisson process with intensity 1. Using this, conditional Poisson limits follow for counts of failure strings.

In this article we give some characterizations of Poisson processes, the model which we consider is inspired by Kimeldorf and Thall (1983) and we generalize the results of Chandramohan and Liang (1985). More precisely, we consider an arbitrarily delayed renewal process, at each arrival time we allow the number of arrivals to be i.i.d. random variables, also the mass of each unit atom can be split into k new atoms with the ith new atom assigned to the process Di, i = 1, ···, k. We shall show that the existence of a pair of uncorrelated processes Di, Dj, i ≠ j, implies the renewal process is Poisson. Some other related characterization results are also obtained.

A simple method is proposed for the generation of successive ‘nearest neighbours' to a given origin in ann-dimensional Poisson process. It is shown that the method provides efficient simulation of random Voronoi polytopes. Results are given of simulation studies in two and three dimensions.

A road traffic model with restricted passing, formulated by Newell (1966), is described by conditional cluster point processes and analytically handled by generating functionals of point processes.The traffic distributions in either space or time are in equilibrium, if the fast cars form a Poisson process with constant intensity combined with Poisson-distributed queues behind the slow cars (Brill (1971)). It is shown that this state of equilibrium is stable, which means that this state will be reached asymptotically for general initial traffic distributions. Furthermore the queues behind the slow cars dissolve asymptotically like independent Poisson processes with diminishing rate, also independent of the process of non-queuing cars. To get these results limit theorems for conditional cluster point processes are formulated.

Theorem: A necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition of two ordinary renewal processes to again be a renewal process is that they be Poisson processes.A complete proof of this theorem is given; also it is shown how the theorem follows from the corresponding one for the superposition of two stationary renewal processes.

Intersection densities are introduced for a large class of nonstationary Poisson processes of hypersurfaces and inequalities for them are proved. In doing so, similar results from both Wieacker (1986) and Schneider (2003) are summarized in one theorem and the concept of an associated zonoid of a Poisson process of hypersurfaces is generalized to a nonstationary setting.

The Poisson process is regarded as a point process of rare events because of the classical result that the number of successes in a sequence of Bernoulli trials is asymptotically Poisson as the probability of a success tends to 0. It is shown that this rareness property of the Poisson process is characteristic of any infinitely divisible point process or random measure with independent increments. These processes and measures arise as limits of certain rarefactions of compound point processes: purely atomic random measures with uniformly null atom sizes. Examples include thinnings and partitions of point processes.

Abstract Under mild assumptions the equivalence of the mixed Poisson process with mixing parameter a real-valued random variable to the one with mixing probability distribution as well as to the mixed Poisson process in the sense of Huang is obtained, and a characterization of each one of the above mixed Poisson processes in terms of disintegrations is provided. Moreover, some examples of “canonical” probability spaces admitting counting processes satisfying the equivalence of all above statements are given. Finally, it is shown that our assumptions for the characterization of mixed Poisson processes in terms of disintegrations cannot be omitted.
