We introduce a non-homogeneous fractional Poisson process by replacing the time variable in the fractional Poisson process of renewal type with an appropriate function of time. We characterize the resulting process by deriving its non-local governing equation. We further compute the first and second moments of the process. Eventually, we derive the distribution of arrival times. Constant reference is made to previous known results in the homogeneous case and to how they can be derived from the specialization of the non-homogeneous process.

The fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process was introduced by a time-change of the non-homogeneous Poisson process with the inverse $alpha$-stable subordinator. We propose a similar definition for the (non-homogeneous) fractional compound Poisson process. We give both finite-dimensional and functional limit theorems for the fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process and the fractional compound Poisson process. The results are derived by using martingale methods, regular variation properties and Anscombes theorem. Eventually, some of the limit results are verified in a Monte Carlo simulation.
The fractional Poisson process (FPP) is a counting process with independent and identically distributed inter-event times following the Mittag-Leffler distribution. This process is very useful in several fields of applied and theoretical physics including models for anomalous diffusion. Contrary to the well-known Poisson process, the fractional Poisson process does not have stationary and independent increments. It is not a Levy process and it is not a Markov process. In this letter, we present formulae for its finite-dimensional distribution functions, fully characterizing the process. These exact analytical results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations.
We introduce two non-homogeneous processes: a fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process of order $k$ and and a fractional non-homogeneous Polya-Aeppli process of order $k$. We characterize these processes by deriving their non-local governing equations. We further study the covariance structure of the processes and investigate the long-range dependence property.
The term moderate deviations is often used in the literature to mean a class of large deviation principles that, in some sense, fill the gap between a convergence in probability to zero (governed by a large deviation principle) and a weak convergence to a centered Normal distribution. We talk about non-central moderate deviations when the weak convergence is towards a non-Gaussian distribution. In this paper we study non-central moderate deviations for compound fractional Poisson processes with light-tailed jumps.
Non-homogeneous Poisson processes are used in a wide range of scientific disciplines, ranging from the environmental sciences to the health sciences. Often, the central object of interest in a point process is the underlying intensity function. Here, we present a general model for the intensity function of a non-homogeneous Poisson process using measure transport. The model is built from a flexible bijective mapping that maps from the underlying intensity function of interest to a simpler reference intensity function. We enforce bijectivity by modeling the map as a composition of multiple simple bijective maps, and show that the model exhibits an important approximation property. Estimation of the flexible mapping is accomplished within an optimization framework, wherein computations are efficiently done using recent technological advances in deep learning and a graphics processing unit. Although we find that intensity function estimates obtained with our method are not necessarily superior to those obtained using conventional methods, the modeling representation brings with it other advantages such as facilitated point process simulation and uncertainty quantification. Modeling point processes in higher dimensions is also facilitated using our approach. We illustrate the use of our model on both simulated data, and a real data set containing the locations of seismic events near Fiji since 1964.
