Показать описание
This video provides an introduction to the Poisson distribution, providing a definition, discussing example situations which might be modelled adequately using this distribution, deriving its mean, providing simulations in Matlab which demonstrate its shape, discussing how it can be used to approximate the binomial distribution under certain conditions, and finally describing its conjugate prior - the gamma density.

This is great! Will you be uploading a lecture on the negative binomial distribution?

self note: P(Y=0/ lambda= 5) = Y is most probably 5 as 5 is the mean but what is probablity of Y being 0?(Y is normally around 5)
