For point processes, such that the interarrival times of points are independently and identically distributed, let T(L, m) denote the time until at least
points cluster within an interval of length at most L. Let τ (L, m) + 1 be the total number of points observed until the above happens. Simple approximations of Eτ (L, m) and ET(L, m) are derived, as well as lower and upper bounds for their value. Approximations to the variances are also given. In particular the Poisson, Bernoulli and compound Poisson processes are discussed in detail. Some numerical tables are included.
