In this thesis we first investigate the Pólya-Lundberg process, which is a special case of
the mixed Poisson process. It is proven that every random variable of a Pólya-Lundberg
process has the negative binomial distribution as its distribution, and that every Pólya-
Lundberg process is a regular Markov process.
We then study the Delaporte process as a generalization of the Pólya-Lundberg process
and we show that its probability distribution is a convolution of a Poisson and a negative
binomial distribution. Another generalization of the Pólya-Lundberg process is the process,
whose every random variable has the generalized negative binomial distribution as
its distribution. This can be induced by a mixed Poisson process with mixing distribution
a generalized negative binomial distribution, as it has been proven by Gerber.
Finally, we study some results of Ruohonen concerning the fitting of the model of a
Delaporte process to several data encountered in the literature, and its comparison with
the Pólya-Lundberg process.
