Abstract

A construction is given for a stationary sequence of random variables {Xi} which have exponential marginal distributions and are random linear combinations of order one of an i.i.d. exponential sequence {εi}. The joint and trivariate exponential distributions of Xi−1, Xi and Xi+ 1 are studied, as well as the intensity function, point spectrum and variance time curve for the point process which has the {Xi} sequence for successive times between events. Initial conditions to make the point process count stationary are given, and extensions to higher-order moving averages and Gamma point processes are discussed.
