In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number...

statistics, Poisson regression is a generalized linear model form of regression analysis used to model count data and contingency tables. Poisson regression...

independently of one another. The Poisson point process is also called a Poisson random measure, Poisson random point field and Poisson point field. When the process...

Poisson's equation is an elliptic partial differential equation of broad utility in theoretical physics. For example, the solution to Poisson's equation...

In mathematics and classical mechanics, the Poisson bracket is an important binary operation in Hamiltonian mechanics, playing a central role in Hamilton's...

Shot noise or Poisson noise is a type of noise which can be modeled by a Poisson process. In electronics shot noise originates from the discrete nature...

A compound Poisson process is a continuous-time stochastic process with jumps. The jumps arrive randomly according to a Poisson process and the size of...

Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed, correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved...

alternative to the Poisson, which approaches the Poisson for large r, but which has larger variance than the Poisson for small r. Poisson ⁡ ( λ ) = lim r...
