# Rust implementation of Point processes
Point processes are used in seismology, social network analysis, and prediction of financial events.
This repository implements an algorithm to simulate point processes inside the [Rust programming language](https://rust-lang.org).
To run the examples, do for instance
```bash
cargo run --example variable_poisson
```
For now, only one-dimensional point processes have been implemented.
## Poisson point process
A Poisson process on the real line is a stochastic process that can be used to model the arrival of random events.
## Hawkes point process
