This is the sequel to a previous paper (Baudin (1981)). The joint probability generating functional of two point processes is introduced as a tool to compute the conditional intensity of the process of cluster centers of a multidimensional Poisson cluster process when a realization is given in a bounded observation window. An explicit formula is derived but it is too complicated for actual use; a linear method for practical estimation is discussed.

It is shown that all stationary self-exciting point processes with finite intensity may be represented as Poisson cluster processes which are age-dependent immigration-birth processes, and their existence is established. This result is used to derive some counting and interval properties of these processes using the probability generating functional.

The probability generating functional (p.g.fl.) of a non-homogeneous Poisson cluster process is characterized in Ammann and Thall (1977) via a decomposition of the KLM measure of the process. This p.g.fl. representation is utilized in the present article to show that the family 𝒟 of Poisson cluster processes with a.s. finite clusters is invariant under a class of cluster transformations. Explicit expressions for the finite-dimensional count distributions, product moment measures, and the distribution of clusters are derived in terms of the KLM measure. It is also shown that an element of 𝒟 has no multiple events iff the points of each cluster are a.s. distinct.

The survival distribution of a device subject to a sequence of shocks occurring randomly over time is studied by Esary, Marshall and Proschan (1973) and by A-Hameed and Proschan (1973), (1975). The present note treats the case in which shocks occur according to a homogeneous Poisson cluster process. It is shown that if[the device surviveskshocks] =zk, 0 <z< 1, then the device exhibits a decreasing failure rate. A DFR preservation theorem is proved for completely monotonic. A counterexample to the IFR preservation theorem is given in whichis strictly IFR while the failure rate is initially decreasing and then increasing.

Melamed's theorem states that, for a Jackson queueing network, the equilibrium flow along a link follows a Poisson distribution if and only if no customers can travel along the link more than once. Barbour and Brown (1996) considered the Poisson approximate version of Melamed's theorem by allowing the customers a small probability p of travelling along the link more than once. In this note, we prove that the customer flow process is a Poisson cluster process and then establish a general approximate version of Melamed's theorem that accommodates all possible cases of 0 ≤ p < 1.
