In probability theory, the law of rare events or Poisson limit theorem states that the Poisson distribution may be used as an approximation to the binomial distribution, under certain conditions. [1] The theorem was named after Siméon Denis Poisson (1781–1840). A generalization of this theorem is Le Cam's theorem

In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution (/ ˈ p w ɑː s ɒ n /) is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.

A renewal process has asymptotic properties analogous to the strong law of large numbers and central limit theorem. The renewal function () (expected number of arrivals) and reward function () (expected reward value) are of key importance in renewal theory. The renewal function satisfies a recursive integral equation, the renewal equation.
