Poisson offspring clusters directed by their parent process
ID: poisson-offspring-clusters-directed-by-their-parent-process
When each parent has a Poisson number of independently displaced offspring, the conditional offspring process has the displayed directing measure. For disjoint target sets, multinomial distribution splitting of a parent's Poisson count gives joint probability generating function . Multiply over independent parents to obtain independent Poisson counts conditional on the parents. Compactly supported displacement ensures local finiteness for a locally finite parent process.
