At time t = 0, there is one individual alive in a certain population. A pure birth process then unfolds as follows. The time until the first birth is exponentially distributed with parameter 1. After the first birth, there are two individuals alive. The time until the first gives birth again is exponential with parameter 1, and similarly for the second individual. Therefore, the time until the next birth is the minimum of two exponential (a) variables, which is exponential...
Problem 1 A Poisson process is a continuous-time discrete-valued random process, X(t), that counts the number of events (think of incoming phone calls, customers entering a bank, car accidents, etc.) that occur up to and including time t where the occurrence times of these events satisfy the following three conditions Events only occur after time 0, i.e., X(t)0 for t0 If N (1, 2], where 0< t t2, denotes the number of events that occur in the time interval (t1,...
