Throwing Stones and Collecting Bones: Looking for Poisson-like Random Measures

Probability 2020-09-24 v3

Abstract

We show that in a broad class of random counting measures one may identify only three that are rescaled versions of themselves when restricted to a subspace. These are Poisson, binomial and negative binomial random measures. We provide some simple examples of possible applications of such measures.
