Consider a small number of independent renewal processes, with their events superposed to create a single point process from the union of their outputs. What techniques could I use to characterise the superposition? I would like to request reading recommendations for this.

The Palm–Khintchine theorem tells us about a large number of renewal processes superposed, but that limit argument doesn't help for small numbers superimposed.

I expect Cox's 1967 book "Renewal Theory" covers this topic, but I can't see a list of contents for it. So before I go looking for it, and since it's fairly old, perhaps there are more recent textbooks that cover the subject well. Any recommendations please?

    That text has a chapter dedicated to superposition of renewal processes, and can be found for cheap online. Also see this question: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1536488/when-superposition-of-two-renewal-processes-is-another-renewal-process – Math1000 Dec 10 '15 at 10:33
