Let be some measure space with -finite measure . The Poisson random measure with intensity measure is a family of random variables defined on some probability space such that
i) is a Poisson random variable with rate .
ii) If sets don't intersect then the corresponding random variables from i) are mutually independent.
iii) is a measure on

Famous quotes containing the words random and/or measure:
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
