A point process is a probability model for occurrences at random instants of time. The occurrences may be road accidents, telephone calls, genetic mutations, subatomic particle transitions, airline arrivals and departures, failure times of light bulbs, computer interrupts, recurrences of cancer, and so on.

Point processes are an important part of the... -- Course Website
