Asymptotic properties of the maximal subinterval of a Poisson process

From MaRDI portal





Consider a standard Poisson process \(\{N(t): t\geq 0\}\), and let \(R_t\) define the length of the maximal subinterval generated by the \(N_t\) random points of the process in the interval \([0,t]\). The authors prove that \(R_t-\ln t\) tends in distribution to an extreme value limiting distribution of Gumbel type. Moreover, all moments of \(R_t- \ln t\) are shown to converge to their conjectured limits. In case of mean and variance, higher-order expansions are also available.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0953.00049].
