Compound Poisson Processes: Building Models for Discrete Jumps
Learners often conflate the Compound Poisson Process with a simple Poisson process. Remember: the Poisson process counts events, whereas the Compound Poisson Process calculates the weighted sum of those events. They are fundamentally different objects: one is a counter, the other an accumulator.
