Given a sequence (Xn) of random variables, Xn is said to be near-record if Xn∈(Mn−1−a,Mn−1], where Mn=max{X1, …, Xn} and a>0 parameter. We investigate the point process η on [0,∞) values from an integer-valued, independent identically distributed sequence, showing that it Bernoulli cluster process. derive probability generating functional formulas for expectation, variance covariance countin...
