Q177Section III (Statistics)177 of 190

Conditional on the Poisson count, event times are order statistics of a uniform sample

Let {X(t),t≥0}\{X(t),t\ge0\} be a time homogeneous Poisson process with rate λ\lambda. Let X(T)=n>0X(T)=n>0 and let T1<⋯<Tn<TT_1<\dots<T_n<T be times at which these n events occur. Then, E(T1∣X(T)=n)E(T_1|X(T)=n) is given by:
