You will be asked for complete, precise definitions of about four of the following terms, including context (e.g., what kind of thing can have a Poisson distribution?). Definitions should be complete ...

This paper considers a germ-grain model for a random system of non-overlapping spheres in Rd for d=1, 2 and 3. The centres of the spheres (i.e. the 'germs' for the 'grains') form a stationary Poisson ...

In this article we characterize all two-parameter count distributions (satisfying very general conditions) that are partially closed under addition. We also find those for which the maximum likelihood ...

Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).

The scale parameter is 1 for Poisson and binomial distributions. SAS/INSIGHT software provides different scale parameter estimates for normal, inverse Gaussian, and gamma distributions: Note You can ...
