  2. Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution

    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. [1]

  3. Probability mass function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_mass_function

    The graph of a probability mass function. All the values of this function must be non-negative and sum up to 1. In probability and statistics, a probability mass function (sometimes called probability function or frequency function [1]) is a function that gives the probability that a discrete random variable is exactly equal to some value. [2]

  4. Zero-truncated Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-truncated_Poisson...

    Presumably a shopper does not stand in line with nothing to buy (i.e., the minimum purchase is 1 item), so this phenomenon may follow a ZTP distribution. [3] Since the ZTP is a truncated distribution with the truncation stipulated as k > 0, one can derive the probability mass function g(k;λ) from a standard Poisson distribution f(k;λ) as ...

  5. Poisson regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_regression

    In statistics, Poisson regression is a generalized linear model form of regression analysis used to model count data and contingency tables. [1] Poisson regression assumes the response variable Y has a Poisson distribution, and assumes the logarithm of its expected value can be modeled by a linear combination of unknown parameters.

  6. Displaced Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displaced_Poisson_distribution

    One of the limitations of the Poisson distribution is that it assumes equidispersion – the mean and variance of the variable are equal. [2] The displaced Poisson distribution may be useful to model underdispersed or overdispersed data, such as: the distribution of insect populations in crop fields; [3] the number of flowers on plants; [1]

  7. Skellam distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skellam_distribution

    The probability mass function of a Poisson-distributed random variable with mean μ is given by (;) =!.for (and zero otherwise). The Skellam probability mass function for the difference of two independent counts = is the convolution of two Poisson distributions: (Skellam, 1946)

  8. Flory–Schulz distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flory–Schulz_distribution

    The probability mass function (pmf) for the mass fraction of chains of length is: () = (). In this equation, k is the number of monomers in the chain, [ 1 ] and 0<a<1 is an empirically determined constant related to the fraction of unreacted monomer remaining.

  9. (a,b,0) class of distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(a,b,0)_class_of_distributions

    The (a,b,0) class of distributions is also known as the Panjer, [1] [2] the Poisson-type or the Katz family of distributions, [3] [4] and may be retrieved through the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson distribution. Only the Poisson, binomial and negative binomial distributions satisfy the full form of this
