Abstract

In 1968 Lampard determined some limit distributions for a counter process in which the input and output are independent Poisson processes. In 1974 Phatarfod dealt with the generalizations of Lampard's formulas for the case when the input and output form a bivariate Poisson process; however, his reasoning is erroneous. The object of this paper is to determine the correct limit distributions for the generalized process.
