Study Notes

The Poisson Process Definition

  • A counting process ${N(t), t \geq 0}$ is a Poisson Process with rate $\lambda > 0$ if it satisfies three conditions:
    • $N(0) = 0$
    • The process has independent increments
    • The number of events in any interval of length $t$ is Poisson distributed with mean $\lambda t$
      • $P{N(t+s) - N(s) = n} = e^{-\lambda t} \frac{(\lambda t)^n}{n!}, \quad n = 0, 1, \dots$ with $s, t \geq 0$

Interarrival Times Proposition

  • Let ${T_n, n \geq 1}$ be the sequence of interarrival times, where $T_1$ is the time of the first event and $T_i$ is the time between event $i-1$ and event $i$ for $i \geq 2$
  • The interarrival times $T_n, n \geq 1$ are independent and identically distributed exponential random variables with parameter $\lambda$.
  • $P{T_1 > t} = P{N(t) = 0} = e^{-\lambda t}$
  • $T_1 \sim Exp(\lambda)$
  • $P{T_2 > t | T_1 = s} = P{0 \text{ events in } (s, s+t] | T_1 = s} = P{0 \text{ events in } (s, s+t]} = P{N(s+t) - N(s) = 0} = e^{-\lambda t}$ for $t > 0, s > 0$
  • $T_2 \sim Exp(\lambda)$ where $T_1$ and $T_2$ are independent

Poisson Process (Alternative Definition)

  • A Poisson process with rate $\lambda > 0$ satisfies three conditions:
    • $N(0) = 0$
    • The process has independent increments
    • The interarrival times are independent and identically distributed exponential random variables with parameter $\lambda$.

Example: Customer Arrivals at a Store

  • Customers arrive at a store according to a Poisson process with rate $\lambda = 10$ customers per hour.
  • Probability that no customers arrive between 11:00 and 11:30:
    • Define $N(t)$ as the number of arrivals up to time $t$, with $t=0$ corresponding to 11:00.
    • $P{N(0.5) = 0} = e^{-10 \cdot 0.5} = e^{-5} \approx 0.0067$
  • Probability that at least two customers arrive between 11:00 and 11:45:
    • $P{N(0.75) \geq 2} = 1 - P{N(0.75) = 0} - P{N(0.75) = 1} = 1 - e^{-10 \cdot 0.75} - \frac{e^{-10 \cdot 0.75}(10 \cdot 0.75)^1}{1!} = 1 - e^{-7.5} - 7.5e^{-7.5} \approx 0.9981$

Thinning

  • Events from a Poisson process with rate $\lambda$ can be one of two types: type I with probability $p$ and type II with probability $1-p$
  • Let $N_1(t)$ and $N_2(t)$ be the number of type I and type II events in $[0, t]$, respectively
  • $N_1(t)$ and $N_2(t)$ are independent Poisson processes with rates $\lambda p$ and $\lambda (1-p)$, respectively

Dot Product

  • The dot product of two vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ is:
    • $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 +... + a_nb_n$
    • or $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = ||\mathbf{a}|| \cdot ||\mathbf{b}|| \cos{\theta}$, where $\theta$ is the angle between $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$

Properties of Dot Product

  • $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = \mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{a}$ (Commutativity)
  • $\mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c}) = \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}$ (Distributivity)
  • $(c\mathbf{a}) \cdot \mathbf{b} = c(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b})$ (Associativity)
  • $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{a} = ||\mathbf{a}||^2 \geq 0$, and $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{a} = 0$ if and only if $\mathbf{a} = \mathbf{0}$

Orthogonality

  • Two vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ are orthogonal if $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = 0$.

Cross Product (in $\mathbb{R}^3$)

  • The cross product of $\mathbf{a} = (a_1, a_2, a_3)$ and $\mathbf{b} = (b_1, b_2, b_3)$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is:
  • $\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b} = (a_2b_3 - a_3b_2, a_3b_1 - a_1b_3, a_1b_2 - a_2b_1)$
    • or $\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b} = ||\mathbf{a}|| \cdot ||\mathbf{b}|| \sin{\theta} \mathbf{n}$, where $\theta$ is the angle between $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$, and $\mathbf{n}$ is a unit vector perpendicular to both

Properties of Cross Product

  • $\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b} = -\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{a}$ (Anti-commutativity)
  • $\mathbf{a} \times (\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c}) = \mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{c}$ (Distributivity)
  • $(c\mathbf{a}) \times \mathbf{b} = c(\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b})$ (Associativity)
  • $\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{a} = \mathbf{0}$
  • $\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}$ is orthogonal to both $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$.

Geometric Interpretation

  • The magnitude of $\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}$ is equal to the area of the parallelogram formed by $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$.

Scalar Triple Product

  • The scalar triple product of vectors $\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}$ is:
    • $\mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c})$
  • Represents the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the three vectors.
    • $\mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) = \begin{vmatrix} a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \ b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \ c_1 & c_2 & c_3 \end{vmatrix}$

Vector Triple Product

  • The vector triple product of vectors $\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}$ is:
    • $\mathbf{a} \times (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) = (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c})\mathbf{b} - (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b})\mathbf{c}$
