Jan 20, 2021 at 10:55 comment added Yasmin @LSpice: Sure, the paper I'm reading is in this link arxiv.org/pdf/1806.00221.pdf, and the proof, or the proposition, is in page 9.
Jan 20, 2021 at 10:50 comment added Yasmin By the way, would it be considered wrong to say that, $F \to 1$ for $t \to \infty$, as $e^{-\int_{t_n}^{t}\lambda^*(s)ds} \to 0$ for $t \to \infty$? Because does it not do that?
Jan 20, 2021 at 10:39 comment added Yasmin Yemon Choi: Thank you that makes sense. I'll oplaod my question in math math.stackexchange.com.
Jan 20, 2021 at 1:02 comment added Yemon Choi Yasmin: given that some function $F(t)$ has the form $1- e^{-h(t)}$ where $h(t)\geq 0$ for all $t$, it should be clear that $0\leq F(t)\leq 1$ for all $t$. This seems to give point 1 and I think that points 2 and 3 will follow from similar reasons. If further explanation is required then I think math.stackexchange.com might be a more appropriate site to get help with such arguments

Jan 20, 2021 at 0:26 comment added LSpice Rather than just answering what the paper's about, why not also mention the specific paper?
Jan 19, 2021 at 23:48 comment added Yasmin Moreover, this proof's objective is to show that $F$ is in fact a cumulative distribution function (which thus is proofed by giving the three points). I hope this made it more clear.
Jan 19, 2021 at 23:42 comment added Yasmin I hope this is the answer you are looking for. The paper is about temporal point processes, more specifically, evolutionary temporal point processes (In other words, the present event (point) is dependent of the previous event(s)). This is a proof I'm trying to understand. I just can't seem to find the correct arguments to state why these two assumptions imply the three points.
Jan 19, 2021 at 22:35 comment added Dieter Kadelka @Yemon Choi: Of course number 1 can be answered without knowing anything about the underlying model. But I think it's always good to define anything which is not standard. I still do not know: Is the underlying model a point process or is it reliability theory or something else? Maybe you can answer this immediately, I can't. And maybe it's unimportant in this context.
Jan 19, 2021 at 22:15 comment added Yemon Choi For a start, if you have tried to derive point 1 from the given information, at which point did you get stuck?
Jan 19, 2021 at 22:15 comment added Yemon Choi Yasmin: in its current form, the question might be more suitable for stats.stackexchange.com just because it is using terminology/definitions/conventions that are tacitly understood in that setting.
Jan 19, 2021 at 22:12 comment added Yemon Choi @DieterKadelka Doesn't point number 1 follow from the stated definitions/assumptions without needing further information on the underlying process?
Jan 19, 2021 at 21:49 comment added Dieter Kadelka Without knowing the paper you start with who shall answer your question? Is there a underlying stochastic process? What?
