abstract

  • We show that randomly changing time of simple, infinitesimally egui-dispersed, non-linear birth-death processes can result in compound, infinitesimally over-dispersed processes. We provide sufficient and necessary conditions and illustrate this with various time changes and examples from scientific and engineering fields.
