Events of a nonhomogeneous poisson process

Reference no: EM131005866

1. Consider a nonhomogeneous Poisson process whose intensity function λ(t) is bounded and continuous. Show that such a process is equivalent to a process of counted events from a (homogeneous) Poisson process having rate λ, where an event at time t is counted (independent of the past) with probability λ(t)/λ; and where λ is chosen so that λ(s)<> for all s.

2. Let T1, T2, ... denote the interarrival times of events of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process having intensity function λ(t).

(a) Are the Ti independent?

(b) Are the Ti identically distributed?

Independent of the arrival process : The service times of the arrivals are independent exponential random variables with rate μ, and are independent of the arrival process. Customers depart the system when their service ends. Let N be the number of arrivals before the ?rst departure.

Depend on the number : The policy of searching for a ?xed time is a static policy. Would a dynamic policy, which allows the decision as to whether to stop at each time t, depend on the number already found by t be bene?cial?
