Time series, point processes, and hybrids*

Techniques developed for the study of time series, point processes, and marked point processes can suggest corresponding techniques for each other, and common techniques can be recognized. In this paper connections are drawn based on conceptual foundations, basic parameters, analyses, displays, algorithms, problems, models. The definitions and techniques are brought out by specific scientific problems. The emphasis is on the single-realization stationary case and on the use of second- and third-order moments to help understand the realization. The tool of stacking, at a particular period, is employed in several of the examples.
