Time changes that result in multiple points in continuous-time Markov counting processes

  • Bretó, Carles

Abstract

We show that randomly changing time of simple, infinitesimally equi-dispersed, non-linear birth–death processes can result in compound, infinitesimally over-dispersed processes. We provide sufficient and necessary conditions and illustrate this with various time changes and examples from scientific and engineering fields.
