In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution (/ ˈ p w ɑː s ɒ n /) is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event. [1]
In probability theory and statistics, the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson (CMP or COM–Poisson) distribution is a discrete probability distribution named after Richard W. Conway, William L. Maxwell, and Siméon Denis Poisson that generalizes the Poisson distribution by adding a parameter to model overdispersion and underdispersion.
In statistics, Poisson regression is a generalized linear model form of regression analysis used to model count data and contingency tables. [1] Poisson regression assumes the response variable Y has a Poisson distribution, and assumes the logarithm of its expected value can be modeled by a linear combination of unknown parameters.
The distribution of the number of raindrops falling on 1/5 of the rooftop is Poisson with intensity parameter 2/5. Due to the reproductive property of the Poisson distribution, k independent random scatters on the same region can superimpose to produce a random scatter that follows a poisson distribution with parameter ( λ 1 + λ 2 + ⋯ + λ ...
A visual depiction of a Poisson point process starting. In probability theory, statistics and related fields, a Poisson point process (also known as: Poisson random measure, Poisson random point field and Poisson point field) is a type of mathematical object that consists of points randomly located on a mathematical space with the essential feature that the points occur independently of one ...

One of the limitations of the Poisson distribution is that it assumes equidispersion – the mean and variance of the variable are equal. [2] The displaced Poisson distribution may be useful to model underdispersed or overdispersed data, such as: the distribution of insect populations in crop fields; [3] the number of flowers on plants; [1]
A mixed Poisson distribution is a univariate discrete probability distribution in stochastics. It results from assuming that the conditional distribution of a random variable, given the value of the rate parameter, is a Poisson distribution, and that the rate parameter itself is considered as a random variable.
