Talk:Poisson random measure

Actually, the definition can be extended to infinite measures, as in Cont and Tankov, Financial Modelling With Jump Processes 131.159.0.7 (talk) 15:15, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

merge with Poisson point process?

Isn't this the same as a Poisson point process, as claimed by that much longer article? Eclecticos (talk) 06:35, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Absolutely. A point process is a random counting measure. A Poisson point process is then a Poisson random measure. Where the confusions arises, at least for me, is in the Lévy process literature. Here, they generally consider a Poisson point process just on the positive real line, which they call a Poisson process (since it's just a stochastic process in time). They then say this process is driven by a Poisson point process defined on a Cartesian product of the positive real line and what space the Levy process is defined in (ie, the state space of the process, which is usually Euclidean space), but they call this Poisson point process a Poisson random measure, presumably as it arises in an integral. For example, see books by Applebaum or Sato. I suspected that these books then had an influence on financial books that use Lévy/jump processes.

I propose merging this article with the Poisson point process one, as the former is too technical. Improbable keeler (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
