In this article we review two historical approximations to the Poisson and binomial cumulative distribution functions (CDFs); that is, the Wilson—Hilferty and Camp—Paulson approximations. Both of ...

It gives the following characterization of (bivariate) Poisson distributions. Suppose that items of two types have been observed certain numbers of times, but these original observations have been ...

Injury incidence can be transformed into average probability of injury using a simple Poisson distribution model. Probabilities are the most familiar method of communicating risk to the public, ...

The Poisson distribution is widely used in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In Bayesian inference, probability distributions often help solve problems that would otherwise be ...
