✦ Synopsis

The Poisson process may be generalised by an ordinary renewal process with the times between renewals following a gamma distribution. Over-(under-) dispersion of the distribution of the number of renewals relative to the Poisson distribution is the result, according as the coefficient of variation of this gamma distribution is > 1 ( < 1 ). This distribution of the number of renewals is then applied to analyse some data on seizure counts of epileptics.

It is shown that any discrete distribution yith non-negative support has a representation in terms of an extended Poisson process (or pure birth process). A particular extension of the simple Poisson process is proposed: one that admits a variety of distributions; the equations for such processes ma

It is shown that any discrete probability distribution with non-negative support can be represented as a generalized Poisson process with state-dependent rates. By looking at empirical estimates of these rate parameters from data, models can be built in terms of an appropriate functional form for th

It is shown that any discrete distribution with finite support has a representation in terms of a general Markov death process with transition rates #i (i/> 0), the binomial distribution corresponding to a linear sequence of these pi. Accordingly, log-linear forms for #i/i will provide generalisatio

## Abstract This article presents two‐component hierarchical Bayesian models which incorporate both overdispersion and excess zeros. The components may be resultants of some intervention (treatment) that changes the rare event generating process. The models are also expanded to take into account an
