M. Perman, J. Pitman, and M. Yor: “Size-biased sampling of Poisson point processes and excursions,” Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 92 : 1 (March 1992), pp. 21–39. MR 1156448 Zbl 0741.60037 article

Some general formulae are obtained for size-biased sampling from a Poisson point process in an abstract space where the size of a point is defined by an arbitrary strictly positive function. These formulae explain why in certain cases (gamma and stable) the size-biased permutation of the normalized jumps of a subordinator can be represented by a stickbreaking (residual allocation) scheme defined by independent beta random variables. An application is made to length biased sampling of excursions of a Markov process away from a recurrent point of its statespace, with emphasis on the Brownian and Bessel cases when the associated inverse local time is a stable subordinator. Results in this case are linked to generalizations of the arcsine law for the fraction of time spent positive by Brownian motion.
