Abstract
The mixed Poisson process has been widely used in financial engineering for modeling arrival of events that cluster in time, as it has strictly stationary and positively correlated increments. However, we show that, surprisingly, the sample autocovariance and autocorrelation of the increments of a mixed Poisson process converge to zero almost surely as the sample size goes to infinity. Consequently, the sample autocovariance or autocorrelation cannot be used in the method of moments for parameter estimation of mixed Poisson processes.
