Abstract

The Poisson shot-noise process discussed here takes the form f:oo H(t, s)N(ds), where N(· is the counting measure of a Poisson process and the H(·, s) are independent stochastic processes. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for convergence in distribution, as t ∼ OC, to any infinitely divisible distribution. The main interest is in the explosive transient one-sided shot-noise, Y(t) = f:1 H(t, s)N(ds) where Var Y(t)∼ oc, Here conditions for asymptotic normality are discussed in detail. Important examples include the Poisson cluster point process and the integrated stationary shotnoise.
