Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to give a short introduction to the theory of point processes and random measures. Our hope is that the paper can be used as a complement to a study of Billingsley's book Convergence of Probability Measures. The subjects treated are: topological properties of the space of realizations; characterization and convergence of random measures with special attention to simple point processses and diffuse random measures; the relation between the topology used and the Skorohod topology. Some thinning and superposition results are given without proofs.
