Abstract: | It is well-known that the distribution of a point process defined on a carrier space is uniquely characterised by its finite dimensional joint distributions of counts on disjoint subsets of . In this note, we investigate the common structure of point processes whose distributions are specified by their one dimensional distributions. We also show that, if is such a point process, then a sequence of point processes { n } converges in distribution to if and only if { n (B)} converges in distribution to (B) for a suitably rich class of sets B.Supported by ARC Discovery project number DP0209179 Mathmatics Subject Classification (2000):Primary 60G55; Secondary 60E05, 60B10 AcknowledgementI would like to thank a referee for his valuable suggestions on the presentation of this paper. |
