  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 /; French pronunciation:) 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. 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.

  4. Poisson-type random measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson-type_random_measure

    Poisson-type random measures are a family of three random counting measures which are closed under restriction to a subspace, i.e. closed under thinning. They are the only distributions in the canonical non-negative power series family of distributions to possess this property and include the Poisson distribution, negative binomial distribution, and binomial distribution. [1]

  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. Compound Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_Poisson_distribution

    Via the law of total cumulance it can be shown that, if the mean of the Poisson distribution λ = 1, the cumulants of Y are the same as the moments of X 1. [citation needed] Every infinitely divisible probability distribution is a limit of compound Poisson distributions. [1] And compound Poisson distributions is infinitely divisible by the ...

  7. Cumulant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulant

    The limiting case n −1 = 0 is a Poisson distribution. The negative binomial distributions, (number of failures before r successes with probability p of success on each trial). The special case r = 1 is a geometric distribution. Every cumulant is just r times the corresponding

  8. 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]

  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
