File Description | In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution (pronounced [pwasɔ̃]), named after French mathematician Simeon Denis Poisson, is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time and/or space if these events occur with a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event.[1] The Poisson distribution can also be used for the number of events in other specified intervals such as distance, area or volume. |
