n order to fit the Poisson distribution, we must estimate a value for λ from the observed data. Since the average count in a 10-second interval was 8.392, we take this as an estimate of λ (recall that the E(X) = λ) and denote it by ˆλ.

What is the difference between the normal distribution and Poisson distribution?
The normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution that describes the distribution of real-valued random variables that are distributed around some mean value.The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the distribution of the number of events that occur within repeated fixed time intervals, where the mean frequency is a known value, and each interval is independent of the prior interval(s)/event(s).
What is the Assumptions for a Binomial distribution and Poisson?
For the binomial, it is independent trials and a constant probability of success in each trial.For the Poisson, it is that the probability of an event occurring in an interval (time or space) being constant and independent.
If X has Poisson distribution does aX plus b have Poisson Distribution?
Yes.
Why belong exponential family for poisson distribution or geometric distribution?
Why belong exponential family for poisson distribution
What is the difference between poisson distribution and poisson process?
A poisson process is a non-deterministic process where events occur continuously and independently of each other. An example of a poisson process is the radioactive decay of radionuclides. A poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that represents the probability of events (having a poisson process) occurring in a certain period of time.
