Extract

In his paper (2), Ripley has shown that some of the basic results of point process theory can be established without making any use of topological assumptions concerning the phase space. For the construction of distributions of point processes he needs pseudo-topological assumptions. In the present paper, another sufficient condition is given for the fact that a distribution of a random measure can be constructed by help of finite-dimensional distributions. This condition is expressed by purely measure-theoretic notions. Roughly speaking, it is supposed that concerning the existence of conditional probabilities the phase space behaves as if it were a Polish space. Measureable spaces with such a property are called ‘full measurable spaces’; they are identical with the measurable spaces of type (B) in (1).
