In probability theory, a Cox process, also known as a doubly stochastic Poisson process is a point process which is a generalization of a Poisson process where the time-dependent intensity is itself a stochastic process. The process is named after the statistician David Cox, who first published the model in 1955.[1]


Cox processes are used to generate simulations of spike trains (the sequence of action potentials generated by a neuron),[2] and also in financial mathematics where they produce a "useful framework for modeling prices of financial instruments in which credit risk is a significant factor."[3]

Definition


Let ξdisplaystyle xi xi be a random measure.


A random measure ηdisplaystyle eta eta is called a Cox process directed by ξdisplaystyle xi xi , if L(η∣ξ=μ)displaystyle mathcal L(eta mid xi =mu )displaystyle mathcal L(eta mid xi =mu ) is a Poisson process with intensity measure μdisplaystyle mu mu .


Here, L(η∣ξ=μ)displaystyle mathcal L(eta mid xi =mu )displaystyle mathcal L(eta mid xi =mu ) is the conditional distribution of ηdisplaystyle eta eta , given ξ=μdisplaystyle xi =mu displaystyle xi =mu .



Laplace transform


If ξdisplaystyle xi xi is a Cox process directed by ηdisplaystyle eta eta , then ξdisplaystyle xi xi has got the Laplace transform


Lξ(f)=exp⁡(−∫1−exp⁡(−f(x))η(dx))displaystyle mathcal L_xi (f)=exp left(-int 1-exp(-f(x));eta (mathrm d x)right)displaystyle mathcal L_xi (f)=exp left(-int 1-exp(-f(x));eta (mathrm d x)right)

for any positive, measurable function fdisplaystyle ff.
