Abstract
In this discussion, I propose to give a brief outline of some of the recent developments in what are called “stochastic point processes.” I am afraid that the treatment may not be satisfactory to mathematicians, since our approach will be completely devoid of that mathematical tenor that is usually associated with stochastic processes. As Professor Ramakrishnan has observed, there is a group of mathematically oriented scientists who believe that the theory of stochastic processes is a part of measure theory and that, as such, it must be given a fair treatment. I wish to apologize for presenting an “unfair” treatment, that of resorting to phenomenological methods, with emphasis on techniques and mode of application rather than on abstract theory. Since the results are essentially new and the applications quite numerous, it is worth while to discuss the techniques in a purely phenomenological way.
