For a Poisson point process with intensity measure and a square-integrable measurable function ,The second identity follows because distinct points contribute the square of the mean, while the diagonal contribution is .
The expectation identity holds for a general point process with intensity measure whenever the sum is integrable. The stated variance identity uses the additional Poisson point process assumption.
For a Poisson random measure with intensity and measurable nonnegative , , allowing both sides to be infinite. For signed , the same identity holds if . This first-moment statement does not require square integrability. Applying it to a nonnegative volume mark gives the expected total volume in a marked Poisson model.
