Abstract: Abstract WE WANT to build models for a random distribution of points in a space, usually, a subset of R or [0, ∞) or R d, d ≥ 1. We have seen several examples of such models already. Renewal processes distribute points on [0, ∞) so that the gaps between points are iid random variables and the Poisson process on [0, ∞) is a renewal process which distributes points so the gaps are iid exponential random variables.
