Abstract

A class of stationary multivariate point processes is considered in which the events of one of the point processes act as regeneration points for the entire multivariate process. Some important properties of such processes are derived including the joint probability generating function for numbers of events in an interval of fixed length and the asymptotic behaviour of such processes. The general theory is then applied in three bivariate examples. Finally, some simple monotonicity results for stationary and renewal point processes (which are used in the second example) are proved in two appendices.
