Hydrological Applications

The strong impetus for the research in the theory of point processes comes from applications, real or potential, to a multitude of engineering, industrial and biological problems. Here we discuss some particular topics in this area and their applications in hydrology. Specifically, we consider stochastic models of a variety of geophysical phenomena, such as the rainfall, floods, sediment transport, dispersion in porous media and some others. The first part of this presentation is concerned with point processses on R+. Our discussion includes the stochastic intensity, some remarks on the martingale approach and a brief expose of the elements of renewal theory. In addition, we discuss in some detail the case when the counting random function represents a Markov process. In the second part we give an introduction to the theory of point processes on an abstract topological space. Elements of marked point processes, which are of particular interest in hydrological investigations, are also included. The rest of the paper is concerned with some hydrological applications.

Environmental Process

A Markovian arrival stream is a marked point process generated by the state transitions of a given Markovian environmental process and Poisson arrival rates depending on the environment. It is shown that to a given marked point process there is a sequence of such Markovian arrival streams with the property that as m →∞. Various related corollaries (involving stationarity, convergence of moments and ergodicity) and counterexamples are discussed as well.

Server System

We present the first class of perfect sampling (also known as exact simulation) algorithms for the steady-state distribution of non-Markovian loss systems. We use a variation of dominated coupling from the past. We first simulate a stationary infinite server system backwards in time and analyze the running time in heavy traffic. In particular, we are able to simulate stationary renewal marked point processes in unbounded regions. We then use the infinite server system as an upper bound process to simulate the loss system. The running time analysis of our perfect sampling algorithm for loss systems is performed in the quality-driven (QD) and the quality-and-efficiency-driven regimes. In both cases, we show that our algorithm achieves subexponential complexity as both the number of servers and the arrival rate increase. Moreover, in the QD regime, our algorithm achieves a nearly optimal rate of complexity.

New Class

We aim to link random fields and marked point processes, and, therefore, introduce a new class of stochastic processes which are defined on a random set in . Unlike for random fields, the mark covariance function of a random marked set is in general not positive definite. This implies that in many situations the use of simple geostatistical methods appears to be questionable. Surprisingly, for a special class of processes based on Gaussian random fields, we do have positive definiteness for the corresponding mark covariance function and mark correlation function.

Arrival Processes

We derive an ESTA property for marked point processes similar to Wolff's PASTA property for ordinary (non-marked) point processes, via a stochastic integral approach. This new ESTA property allows us to extend a known result on the conditional PASTA property and to derive an ASTA property for batch arrival processes. We also present an application of our results.

Fixed Period

The aim of the present paper is to introduce some techniques, based on the change of variable formula for processes of finite variation, for establishing (integro) differential equations for evaluating the distribution of jump processes for a fixed period of time. This is of interest in insurance mathematics for evaluating the distribution of the total amount of claims occurred over some period of time, and attention will be given to such issues. Firstly we will study some techniques when the process has independent increments, and then a more refined martingale technique is discussed. The building blocks are delivered by the theory of marked point processes and associated martingale theory. A simple numerical example is given.
