In [[probability]] and [[statistics]], '''point process notation''' refers to the range of [[mathematical notation]] used to represent [[stochasticrandom]] [[Mathematical object|objects]] known as [[point process]]es, which are used in related fields such as [[stochastic geometry]], [[spatial statistics]] and [[continuum percolation theory]] and frequently serve as [[mathematical models]] of random phenomena, representable as points, in time, space or both.

The notation varies due to the histories of certain mathematical fields and the different interpretations of point processes <ref name="stoyan1995stochastic"> D. Stoyan, W. S. Kendall, J.
