Description

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 in ...

Summary

  • Essential Math for Data Science: You can refer to the section below to see how the Poisson distribution is derived from the binomial distribution.
  • Her goal is to know the probability that a specific number of birds will sing in the next minute.
  • You can split the continuous time in segments of length ϵ.
  • The estimation of a continuous time scale is more accurate when ϵ is very small.
