  1. Suppose $\xi$ is a point process on $(S, B(S))$, where $S$ be locally compact second countable Hausdorff space equipped with its Borel σ-algebra $B(S)$.

    I was wondering if $\xi(A), \forall A \in B(S)$ is measurable, i.e. an integer-valued random variable? So that, for example, it makes sense to talk about $ E ( \xi(A) )$? If not, are there some cases when it is true?

  2. More generally, same questions for a random measure instead of a point process?
  3. If the answers to the above questions are yes, can we say a point process or random measure is a stochastic process with index set being the $\sigma$-algebra $B(S)$?

Thanks and regards!

    I was wonde$r$ing, did you t$r$y to $r$ead a classic on Poisson point processes, such as *Poisson Processes* by J. F. C. Kingman http://www.ama$z$on.com/Poisson-Processes-Oxford-Studies-Probability/dp/0198536933, which is very welcoming and not so long, or another reference given on the lin$k$ed page?2011-04-22
