Cox process

A Cox process (named after the statistician Sir David Cox), also known as a doubly stochastic Poisson process or mixed Poisson process, is a stochastic process which is a generalization of a Poisson process. In the case of Cox processes, the time-dependent intensity λ(t) is a stochastic process which is separated from the Poisson process.

An example would be a spike train of a sensory neuron with external stimulation. If the stimulation is a stochastic process and it modulates the firing rate (intensity function) of the neuron, then the spike train can be thought of as a realization of a Cox process.

Another example of the use of Cox processes is in financial mathematics for modeling Credit risk.
