Exponential Laplace martingale of a compound Poisson process
ID: exponential-laplace-martingale-of-a-compound-poisson-process
Let for a rate- Poisson process and independent and identically distributed nonnegative marks independent of that process, with . The Laplace transform of a nonnegative random variable for the increment over is . That increment is independent of the past of , so the displayed nonnegative process has mean one and satisfies . No finite first moment of the marks is needed for this martingale when .
