Abstract

Palm distributions are critical in the study of point processes. In the present paper we focus on a point process Φ\Phi defined as the superposition, i.e., sum, of two independent point processes, say Φ=Φ1+Φ2\Phi = \Phi_1 + \Phi_2, and we characterize its Palm distribution. In particular, we show that the Palm distribution of Φ\Phi admits a simple mixture representation depending only on the Palm distribution of Φj\Phi_j, as j=1,2j=1, 2, and the associated moment measures. Extensions to the superposition of multiple point processes, and higher order Palm distributions, are treated analogously.
