Travels in Poisson Space. Review of Mixed Poisson Processes, by Jan Grandell

Jan Grandell is Biträdande Professor of Mathematical Statistics at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. He received his doctorate in mathematical statistics at the University of Stockholm in 1976. Grandell's work emphasizes the application and analysis of stochastic theory with respect to compound processes and the mathematical theory of risk. Professor Grandell's extensive publications in the field of stochastic processes include the books Doubly Stochastic Poisson Processes (1976) and Aspects of Risk Theory (1991). Stephen Link is a Professor in Psychology and Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, San Diego. He was a Fellow in the Institute for Mathematical Studies in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University where he received his doctorate in 1968. Professor Link co-authored, with H.-G. Geissler and J. T. Townsend, Cognition, Information Processing and Psychophysics: Basic Issues (1992) and is author of The Wave Theory of Difference and Similarity (1992).
