Summary:
We give a universal discrimination procedure for determining if a sample point drawn from an ergodic and stationary simple point process on the line with finite intensity comes from a homogeneous Poisson process with an unknown parameter. Presented with the sample on the interval $[0,t]$ the discrimination procedure $g_t$, which is a function of the finite subsets of $[0,t]$, will almost surely eventually stabilize on either POISSON or NOTPOISSON with the first alternative occurring if and only if the process is indeed homogeneous Poisson. The procedure is based on a universal discrimination procedure for the independence of a discrete time series based on the observation of a sequence of outputs of this time series.
