Abstract

The superposition of independent, discrete, renewal processes produces a counting process which is also a discrete time series. The conditional distribution and correlation structure of this kind of time series may be obtained. In suitable conditions the conditional distribution has a spectrum which is exactly or approximately rational. When this is so, an ARMA can be found which matches the spectrum of the superposition.
