  Poisson process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Poisson process is a continuous-time process: its discrete-time counterpart is the Bernoulli process.
A Poisson process is a pure-birth process, the simplest example of a birth-death process.
Just as a Poisson random variable is characterized by its scalar parameter λ, a homogeneous Poisson process is characterized by its rate parameter λ, which is the expected number of "events" or "arrivals" that occur per unit time.

 MUG: compound Poisson process   (21.1.03)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
OK, a compound Poisson process is defined by X(t) = sum_{i=1}^N(t) Y_i for t >= 0, where N(t) is a Poisson process and {Y_i} a family of iid random variables independent of N(t).
By "generating" the process, I suppose what you want is to generate a sample from this process, i.e.
Suppose the Poisson process N(t) has rate r, so for s < t, N(t) - N(s) is Poisson with parameter r*(t-s), and X(t) - X(s) is the sum of that many independent r.v.'s with the distribution for Y_i.

 Math 413
A counting process is said to possess stationary increments if the distribution of number of events that occur in any time interval depends ONLY on the LENGTH of the time interval.
Suppose we are told that exactly one event of a Poisson process has taken place by time t, and we want to determine the distribution of the time at which the event occurred.
Now since a Poisson process possesses stationary and independent increments if seems reasonable that each interval in [0,t] of equal length should have the same probability of containing the event.

 Operational Risk - Models
The event process for transaction handling errors is best approximated as a poisson process, in which the frequency of error events per unit of time is distributed as a poisson variable (although in theory, the exponential distribution could also be used to model the distribution of the time between errors).
The mixture distribution is formulated as a compound poisson process.
But the process is sure to develop, and the trend is likely to be towards bottom-up or hybrid models that, wherever possible, model the real workflows — despite the fact that it is harder to arrive at a full and consistent operational value-at-risk and capital allocation methodology by this means.

However, under mild disastrous conditions, the appropriate model is a stochastic process subject to binomial catastrophes.

We study the equilibrium distribution of this process and we derive an algorithmic procedure for its approximate computation.

The second model generalizes the compound Poisson process to allow for an arbitrary dependence structure in its innovations so as to account for more complicated types of market microstructure.
Comparison with actual high frequency data suggests that the proposed models are sufficiently flexible to capture a number of salient features of financial return data including a skewed and fat tailed marginal distribution, serial correlation at high frequency, time variation in market activity both at high and low frequency.

Optimality of an (s,S) Policy with Compound Poisson and Diffusion Demands: A Quasi-variational Inequalities Approach
We prove that an (s, S) policy is optimal in a continuous-review stochastic inventory model with a fixed ordering cost when the demand is a mixture of (i) a diffusion process and a compound Poisson process with exponentially distributed jump sizes, and (ii) a constant demand and a compound Poisson process.
Finally, the combination of a diffusion and a general compound Poisson demands is not completely solved.

In a typical model of this sort, in the absence of control, the reserve (surplus) process, which represents the liquid assets of the company, is governed by a Brownian motion with constant drift and diffusion coefficient.
This is a limiting case of the classical Cramer-Lundberg model in which the reserve is a compound Poisson process, amended by a linear term, representing a constant influx of the insurance premiums.
Mathematically, the cumulative dividend process is described by an increasing functional which may or may not be continuous with respect to time.

Two methods are considered for assessing the asymptotic stability of the trivial solution of linear stochastic differential equations driven by Poisson white noise, interpreted as the formal derivative of a compound Poisson process.
The first method attempts to extend a result for diffusion processes satisfying linear stochastic differential equations to the case of linear equations with Poisson white noise.
The second method is based on a geometric ergodic theorem for Markov chains providing a criterion for the asymptotic stability of the solution of linear stochastic differential equations with Poisson white noise.
