Consider a counting process N t for which interarrival times are independent and uniform on [0,1]. Show

Question:

Consider a counting process Nt for which interarrival times are independent and uniform on [0,1]. Show that in this case

(a) Increments of the process are dependent;

(b) The process is not Markov. Does your answer to the second question answer the first? Give an answer to the first question proceeding directly from the distribution of increments. Give a common-sense explanation of your results. (Advice: For intervals Δ1 = [0,0.5] and Δ2 = (0.5,1], consider P(NΔ2 = 0|NΔ1 =0) and P(NΔ2 = 0|NΔ1 = 1). Also, compare P(N2 = 2|N1.5 = 2,N1 = 2) and P(N2 = 2|N1.5 = 2).)
