Let Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("/media/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. TeX parse error: Undefined control sequence \emph"): {\displaystyle {\emph {y}}=\{Y(t),t\geq 0\}} be a Compound Poisson Process with rate and jump size distribution G.

Then,

where,

is a Poisson Process with rate , and

are independent and identically distributed random variables, with distribution function G, which are also independent of
