3. [IPS10e] Exercise 5.60, 5.64 (Solution on p.753. Hint: Use Theorem 5.2)
Rt
Solution: Let m(t) = 0 λ(s)ds. We know that for all t, s > 0, N (t + s) − N (s) ∼ P oi(m(t + s) −
m(s)). That is,
[m(t + s) − m(s)]n
P(N (t + s) − N (s) = n) = exp(−[m(t + s) − m(s)])
n!
(a) No, Ti ’s are not independent. For example, the conditional probability of T2 > t given T1 = s
is
Solution: The occurrence of storms is a conditional Poisson process. For simplicity, let G be the
event that next year is a good year, and B the event that next year is not good.
