Talk:Compound Poisson process

Please. It does not make sense to say "Let ... be a compound Poisson process... Then ...." when you're DEFINING the concept of compound Poisson process. Only when stating a THEOREM or proposition about such a process does that syntax make any sensse. Michael Hardy 22:49, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Merging with Poisson process

Disagree about merging this article with Poisson process. That one is already a big article. Rather, this article should be expanded. Oleg Alexandrov 01:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC).

I absolutely agree with Oleg. PH Potgieter Sep 24 11:13:35 SAST 2005.

So do I. R Binter

I added a bit to the article and i really don't think it should be merged, would anyone be opposed to me removing the merge request. Faisel Gulamhussein 20:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the variance correct?

I am a common user of wikipedia.org. There is an entry "compound Poisson process), on which page the mean value and the variance are given.

However, I can get the mean value but cannot the variance as shown on the page.

I want to make sure whether the variance value calculation on that page is correct.

Thanks a lot.
