Extract

The class of stationary point processes known as ‘doubly stochastic Poisson processes’ was introduced by Cox (2) and has been studied in detail by Bartlett (1). It is not clear just how large this class is, and indeed it seems to be a problem of some difficulty to decide of a general stationary point process whether or not it can be represented as a doubly stochastic Poisson process. (A few simple necessary conditions are known. For instance, Cox pointed out in the discussion to (1) that a double stochastic Poisson process must show more ‘dispersion’ than the Poisson process. Such conditions are very far from being sufficient.) The main result of the present paper is a solution of the problem for the special case of a renewal process, justifying an assertion made in the discussion to (1).
