ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.3150/10-BEJ290 | Abstract: | Although the study of weak convergence of superpositions of point processes to the Poisson process dates back to the work of Grigelionis in 1963, it was only recently that Schuhmacher [Stochastic Process. Appl. 115 (2005) 1819-1837] obtained error bounds for the weak convergence. Schuhmacher considered dependent superposition, truncated the individual point processes to 0-1 point processes and then applied Stein's method to the latter. In this paper, we adopt a different approach to the problem by using Palm theory and Stein's method, thereby expressing the error bounds in terms of the mean measures of the individual point processes, which is not possible with Schuhmacher's approach. We consider locally dependent superposition as a generalization of the locally dependent point process introduced in Chen and Xia [Ann. Probab. 32 (2004) 2545-2569] and apply the main theorem to the superposition of thinned point processes and of renewal processes. © 2011 ISI/BS. | Source Title: | Bernoulli | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/103941 | ISSN: | 13507265 | DOI: | 10.3150/10-BEJ290 |
