The Poisson Distribution

Analytics Vidhya

Mylie has been averaging 3 hits for every 10 times at bat. What is the probability that she will get exactly 2 hits in her next 5 times at bat? How do we go about calculating the probability of this…

Exploring the Poisson Distribution

Towards Data Science

I find probability distributions would often be useful tools to know and understand, but the explanations are not always very intuitive. The Poisson distribution is one of the probability…

Poisson Distribution Details with Implementation

You have been freelancing for 10 years now. So far, your average annual income was about 80,000$. This year, you feel like you are stuck in a rut and decide to hit 6 figures. To do that, you want to…

Essential Math for Data Science: The Poisson Distribution

Towards Data Science

The Poisson distribution, named after the French mathematician Denis Simon Poisson, is a discrete distribution function describing the probability that an event will occur a certain number of times…

The Poisson distribution: From basic probability theory to regression models

R-bloggers

Brief introduction to the Poisson distribution for modeling count data using the distributions3 package. The distribution is illustrated using the number of goals scored at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, su...

Poisson Processes

Think Bayes

This chapter introduces the Poisson process , which is a model used to describe events that occur at random intervals. As an example of a Poisson process, we’ll model goal-scoring in soccer, which is...

Binomial And Poisson Distribution

It is a discrete distribution and describes success or failure of an event. e.g:- In an examination student can either pass or fail , if a coin is tossed it gives either head or tail. In other word…

Diving Into the Poisson Distribution and Poisson Process

Towards AI

What role does the Poisson distribution and Poisson process take in probability and statistics, and how is it used in real-life scenarios?

Poisson Distribution and Poisson Process in Python — Statistics

Towards Data Science

To continue following this tutorial we will need the following Python libraries: scipy, numpy, and matplotlib. If you don’t have it installed, please open “Command Prompt” (on Windows) and install it…...

The Poisson Distribution and Poisson Process Explained

Towards Data Science

In this article, we’ll cover the relevant theory for understanding Poisson Distributions and Processes. To illustrate the concepts, we’ll apply them to a real-world problem.
