Abstract: Let X be a locally compact Polish space. A random measure on X is a probability measure on the space of all (nonnegative) Radon measures on X. Denote by mathbbK(X) the cone of all Radon measures eta on X which are of the form eta=sumisideltaxi, where, for each i, si>0 and deltaxi is the Dirac measure at xiinX. A random discrete measure on X is a probability measure on mathbbK(X). The main result of the paper states a necessary and sufficient condition (conditional upon a mild a priori bound) when a random measure mu is also a random discrete measure. This condition is formulated solely in terms of moments of the random measure mu. Classical examples of random discrete measures are completely random measures and additive subordinators, however, the main result holds independently of any independence property. As a corollary, a characterisation via a moments is given when a random measure is a point process.
