A statistical method developed by the 18th century French mathematician S. D. Poisson, which is used for predicting the probable distribution of a series of events. For example, when the average ...

For modelling unbounded count data, Poisson distribution is a natural choice. However, count data arising in various fields of scientific research are often under-reported. In such situations, ...

Neurons transmit information with sequences of action potentials. These responses are variable—repeated measurements under identical experimental conditions give different spike trains—but the origins ...

For binomial and Poisson distributions, the scale parameter has a value of 1. The variance of Y is for the binomial distribution and for the Poisson distribution. Overdispersion occurs when the ...
