In probability theory, a Cox process, also known as a doubly stochastic Poisson process or mixed Poisson process, is a stochastic process which is a generalization of a Poisson process where the time-dependent intensity λ(t) is itself a stochastic process. The process is named after the statistician David Cox, who first published the model in 1955.[1]

Cox processes are used to generate simulations of spike trains (the sequence of action potentials generated by a neuron),[2] and also in financial mathematics where they produce a "useful framework for modeling prices of financial instruments in which credit risk is a significant factor."[3]
