DESCRIPTION:We introduce the Poisson process. First\, we intuitively descr
 ibe the Poisson distribution and Poisson process\, linking it to the expon
 ential and binomial distributions\, and discussing properties and applicat
 ions. Some of this material is drawn from 'Probability and Random Processe
 s' by Grimmett and Stirzaker. \n\nWe also describe recent work by Adams et
 . al (2009)\, "Tractable Nonparametric Bayesian Inference in Poisson Proce
 sses with Gaussian Process Intensities"\, where a Gaussian process is used
  to model the intensity of an inhomogeneous Poisson process. We then exami
 ne the Poisson process more closely\, following Kingman's classic book 'Po
 isson processes'\, which makes use of measure theory.
