  1. Poisson Processes Shane G. Henderson http://people.orie.cornell.edu/~shane

  2. A Traditional Definition Shane G. Henderson

  3. What Are They For? Times of customer arrivals (no scheduling and no groups) Locations, e.g., flaws on wafers, ambulance call locations,submarine locations Ambulance call times and locations (3-D) Shane G. Henderson

  4. “Palm-Khintchine Theorem” time Shane G. Henderson

  5. A Point-Process Definition Shane G. Henderson

  6. Poisson Point-Processes Shane G. Henderson

  7. Superposition Shane G. Henderson

  8. Transformations Shane G. Henderson

  9. Inversion t Shane G. Henderson

  10. Marking This “works” because oforder-statistic property t Shane G. Henderson

  11. Thinning Thinned points and retained points are in different regions,therefore independent “t” coordinates of retained points are a Poisson process, rate “t” coordinates of thinned points are too, rate i.i.d.U(0,1) t Shane G. Henderson

  12. More on Marking • Suppose call times for an ambulance follow a Poisson process in time • Mark each call with the call location (latitude, longitude) • Resulting 3-D points are those of a Poisson process Shane G. Henderson

  13. More on Marking To generate Poisson processes in > 1 dimension, one way is to • First generate their projection onto a lower dimensional structure (Poisson) • Independently mark each point with the appropriate conditional distribution Saltzman, Drew, Leemis, H. (2012). Simulating multivariate non-homogeneous Poisson processes using projections. TOMACS Shane G. Henderson

  14. This View of Poisson Processes • Is mathematically elegant • Is highly visual and therefore intuitive • Makes proving many results almost as easy as falling off a log • Try proving thinned and retained points are independent Poisson processes • Suggests other generation algorithms Shane G. Henderson
