note: N(t) is the number of points in [0,t] and N(t1,t2] is the number of points in (t1,t2].
Let {N(t): t≥0} be a Poisson process of rate 1.
Evaluate E[N(3) |N(2),N(1)].
If the question were E[N(3) |N(2)], then I have some idea...
E[N(3) |N(2)]
=E[N(2)+N(2,3] |N(2)]
=E[N(2)|N(2)] + E{N(2,3] |N(2)}
=N(2)+ E{N(2,3]} (independent increments)
=N(2) + 1
since N(2,3] ~ Poisson(1(3-2)) =Poisson(1)
But for E[N(3) |N(2),N(1)], how can I deal with the extra N(1)?
Thanks for any help! :)
