Strong law for Poisson arrival times

ID: strong-law-for-poisson-arrival-times

For a homogeneous Poisson process of rate , almost surely: unit-time increments are independent Poisson variables and the strong law of large numbers applies, then monotonicity fills the intervals between integers. At its th point , simplicity gives . Consequently . Rate and mean interarrival time are reciprocals.
