Window count of a point process

ID: window-count-of-a-point-process

For a bounded Borel set , the window count of a locally finite point process is a finite nonnegative integer random variable. It counts multiplicities, and the convention for window boundaries matters. On the time half-line, is a counting process and . For pairwise disjoint observation windows , the measure identity
is valid for every realization. Additivity of counts supplies no independence assumption.

Window counts include multiplicity and depend on boundary conventions
. One locally finite point measure is . The half-open windows and have counts three and two; . The atom at three lies outside both windows. Two stacked dots denote the double atom at , and the step plot records , which includes the atom at three. Details.
