Using the characterization of point processes having the order statistic property we prove that the only renewal process that has the order statistic property is the Poisson process.

Theorem: A necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition of two ordinary renewal processes to again be a renewal process is that they be Poisson processes.A complete proof of this theorem is given; also it is shown how the theorem follows from the corresponding one for the superposition of two stationary renewal processes.

The structure of the probability space associated with a general point process, when regarded as a counting process, is reviewed using the coincidence formalism. The rest of the paper is devoted to the class of regular point processes for which all coincidence probabilities admit densities. It is shown that their distribution is completely specified by the system of coincidence densities. The specification formalism is stressed for ‘completely’ regular point processes. A construction theorem gives a characterization of the system of coincidence densities of such a process. It permits the study of most models of point processes. New results on the photon process, a particular type of conditioned Poisson process, are derived. New examples are exhibited, including the Gauss-Poisson process and the ‘fermion’ process that is suitable whenever the points are repulsive.

Denoting by v(t) the residual life of a component in a renewal process, Çinlar and Jagers (1973) and Holmes (1974) have shown that if E(v(t)) is independent of t for all t, then the process is Poisson. In this note we prove, under mild conditions, that if E(G(v(t))) is constant, then the process is Poisson. In particular if E((v(t))r) for some specific real number r ≧ 1 is independent of t, then the process is Poisson.

The results of Nawrotzki (1962), Feigin (1979) and Puri (1982) show that the class of all point processes (on the real line) with the order statistic property consists of all mixed Poisson processes up to a time-scale transformation, and of all mixed sample processes. The present note characterizes those order statistic point processes that are mixed Poisson processes and mixed sample processes simultaneously.

A Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP) M(t) defined on a Markov chain J(t) is a pure jump process where jumps of M(t) occur according to a Poisson process with intensity λi whenever the Markov chain J(t) is in state i. M(t) is called strongly renewal (SR) if M(t) is a renewal process for an arbitrary initial probability vector of J(t) with full support on P={i:λi>0}. M(t) is called weakly renewal (WR) if there exists an initial probability vector of J(t) such that the resulting MMPP is a renewal process. The purpose of this paper is to develop general characterization theorems for the class SR and some sufficiency theorems for the class WR in terms of the first passage times of the bivariate Markov chain [J(t),M(t)]. Relevance to the lumpability of J(t) is also studied.

We provide a probabilistic proof of the characterization of point processes (on the real line) with the order statistic property. The characterization is used to investigate the homogeneity of such processes and is also related to the martingale theory associated with point processes.
