  2. Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution

    For sufficiently large values of λ, (say λ >1000), the normal distribution with mean λ and variance λ (standard deviation ) is an excellent approximation to the Poisson distribution. If λ is greater than about 10, then the normal distribution is a good approximation if an appropriate continuity correction is performed, i.e., if P( X ≤ x ...

  3. Poisson limit theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_limit_theorem

    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

  4. (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

  6. Poisson binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_binomial_distribution

    The concept is named after Siméon Denis Poisson. In other words, it is the probability distribution of the number of successes in a collection of n independent yes/no experiments with success probabilities p 1 , p 2 , … , p n {\displaystyle p_{1},p_{2},\dots ,p_{n}} .

  7. Mixed Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_Poisson_distribution

    A mixed Poisson distribution is a univariate discrete probability distribution in stochastics. It results from assuming that the conditional distribution of a random variable, given the value of the rate parameter, is a Poisson distribution , and that the rate parameter itself is considered as a random variable.

  8. Compound Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_Poisson_distribution

    The shift geometric distribution is discrete compound Poisson distribution since it is a trivial case of negative binomial distribution. This distribution can model batch arrivals (such as in a bulk queue [5] [9]). The discrete compound Poisson distribution is also widely used in actuarial science for modelling the distribution of the total ...

  9. Compound Poisson process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_Poisson_process

    The jumps arrive randomly according to a Poisson process and the size of the jumps is also random, with a specified probability distribution. To be precise, a compound Poisson process, parameterised by a rate > and jump size distribution G, is a process {():} given by
