Poisson on the poisson distribution

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1982
Abstract A translation of the totality of Poisson's own 1837 discussion of the Poisson distribution is presented, and its relation to earlier work of De Moivre is briefly noted.

Generalized poisson distributions

Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, 1957
Poisson distributions evidently can be treated in a unified manner by dealing with the G.P. which contains a characteristic parameterq. The properties of the PEBL, long recognized as significant in a variety of statistical applications like telephone trunking, queueing, etc., may be deduced by passage to the limitq = 1.

Poisson Distribution

2012
The random variable X taking values 0,1,2,…,x,… with probabilities pλ(x) = e−λλx/x!, where λ∈R0+ is called a Poisson variable, and its distribution a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ. The Poisson distribution with parameter λ can be obtained as the limit, as n → ∞ and p → 0 in such a way that np → λ, of the binomial distribution with exponent n ...

The Altham–Poisson distribution

Statistical Modelling, 2015
The multiplicative binomial model was introduced as a generalization of the binomial distribution for modelling correlated binomial data. This distribution has not been extensively explored and is revisited in the present study. Some properties of the multiplicative binomial distribution, such as, expressions for the factorial moments and the ...

Poisson distributions

Computing in Science & Engineering, 2001
Scientists and engineers often use Poisson's probability distribution to characterize the statistics of rare events whose average number is small. Using it correctly is crucial if we are to validate claims of discovery of new phenomena, such as a new fundamental particle (few candidate collision events among millions), a remote galaxy (few photons in ...

The Poisson Pascal Distribution

Biometrics, 1961
Elementary distributions such as the Poisson, the Logarithmic and the Binomial which can be formulated on the basis of simple models have been found to be inadequate to describe the situations which occur in a number of phenomena. The Neyman Type A (cf. Evans [5]), the Negative Binomial (cf. Bliss and Fisher [3]), and the Poisson Binomial (cf.
