The doubly stochastic Poisson process, introduced by Cox in [9] and so named by Bartlett in [6] is obtained by letting the rate λ(t) of the Poisson process vary according to a stochastic process, say Λ(t). […] There are instances of doubly stochastic Poisson processes that are identical to cluster processes (for example, the shot noise process driven by a stationary Poisson process is identical to a Neyman-Scott Poisson cluster process, see p.171-172 in [12]).
