A <Neyman-Scott process> places <independent> offspring clusters around points of a <Poisson process>[Poisson parent process], with an <independence>[independently] drawn offspring count and displacements. <Poisson distribution>[Poisson offspring counts] make the offspring process conditionally Poisson given the parents, and therefore give a <Cox process>. Arbitrary offspring counts need not have that property.
