probability - Distribution of Event Times in a Poisson Process ...
Sep 5, 2024 · Normally, everyone talks about the distribution of interarrival times in a Poisson Process are Exponential ... but what about the distribution of the actual event times?
Why is Poisson regression used for count data?
Oct 4, 2013 · Poisson distributed data is intrinsically integer-valued, which makes sense for count data. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS, which you call "linear regression") assumes that true values are …
Poisson or quasi poisson in a regression with count data and ...
I have count data (demand/offer analysis with counting number of customers, depending on - possibly - many factors). I tried a linear regression with normal errors, but my QQ-plot is not really goo...
An intuitive explanation of the Poisson equation?
Dec 8, 2023 · Poisson Equation: The Poisson equation, $$\nabla^2 u = f$$, describes how a scalar function (u) changes in response to a given "influence" represented by (f). It's like describing how a …
Relationship between poisson and exponential distribution
Note, that a poisson distribution does not automatically imply an exponential pdf for waiting times between events. This only accounts for situations in which you know that a poisson process is at …
r - Rule of thumb for deciding between Poisson and negative binomal ...
Nov 6, 2023 · The Poisson distribution implies so a one-sample test can provide a -value for testing Poisson vs. negative binomial. Another test for equidispersion is the Lagrange Multiplier which …

Deriving Newton’s gravitational potential through Poisson’s equation ...
Nov 30, 2023 · 0 I am trying to derive Newton’s gravitational potential $\phi_N = -\frac {GM} {r}$ from Poisson’s equation $\Delta \phi_N = 4\pi G\rho$, where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass …
intuition - Why is the Poisson distribution chosen to model arrival ...
The Poisson process involves a "memoryless" waiting time until the arrival of the next customer. Suppose the average time from one customer to the next is $\theta$. A memoryless continuous …
How can I test if given samples are taken from a Poisson distribution?
I know of normality tests, but how do I test for "Poisson-ness"? I have sample of ~1000 non-negative integers, which I suspect are taken from a Poisson distribution, and I would like to test that.
