Distribution of Poisson process.


he purpose of this section is to compute some basic probabilities associated with Poisson process. Let $t,T$ be time moments, $t<T$ . The $\tau$ denotes the time of the first jump. We subdivide the interval $\left[ t,T\right] $ into $n$ small sub-intervals and let the size of each subinterval go to zero with $t,T$ being constants. We use the result MATH as $n\rightarrow\infty$ and for MATH and the notation MATH , MATH Observe that MATH We apply the ( Chain_rule ): MATH From point of view of MATH the events MATH are deterministic for $i=0,...,N-2$ , hence, MATH then, by ( Poisson property 1 ), MATH We continue in similar manner and take a limit: MATH




Therefore, with use of the formula ( Poisson property 1a ), we conclude

MATH (Poisson property 2)

Similarly, for any integer $k\geq0$ MATH where $\tau$ denotes any jump of $N_{t}$ and MATH denotes the set of permutations of $k$ integers from $1$ to $N$ . The factorial exists because permutations of MATH constitute identical terms in the sum while the equality is based on decomposition into disjoint events. We continue MATH MATH We note $N\Delta t=T-t$ , MATH = MATH , MATH , MATH . MATH Hence,
