Subordination of a Lévy process

ID: subordination-of-a-levy-process

If is a Lévy process and an independent subordinator, then is a Lévy process. Conditional on the clock, increments of over disjoint clock intervals are independent; averaging over the independent stationary increments of the clock gives the same properties for . If , its characteristic function is . For standard Brownian motion, , so this is the clock's Laplace transform at .
