For an interval of length , the joint probability generating function of the marked counts isThis factors into two Poisson generating functions. Independent parent increments on disjoint intervals and independent marks give independent increment vectors, so the factorization holds jointly over all intervals. Thus the two processes are independent Poisson processes of rates and . For types the same calculation gives , proving independent Poisson processes of rates . A zero probability gives an identically zero process.
