Abstract

A recursion formula is obtained by rearranging Lawrance's (1973) result concerning the superposition of independent stationary point processes for which there exist joint probability density functions for the intervals between successive points. When these component point processes are identically distributed, the formula can in principle be inverted to describe their probability structure given that of the superposition process.
