The Poisson and Exponential Distributions
neurophysics.ucsd.eduThe Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution with probability mass function P(x)= e−µµx x!, where x = 0,1,2,..., the mean of the distribution is denoted by µ, and e is the exponential. The variance of this distribution is also equal to µ. The exponential distribution is a continuous distribution with probability density function f ...
Reading 10b: Maximum Likelihood Estimates
ocw.mit.eduWe have casually referred to the exponential distribution or the binomial distribution or the normal distribution. In fact the exponential distribution exp( ) is not a single distribution but rather a one-parameter family of distributions. Each value of de nes a di erent dis-tribution in the family, with pdf f (x) = e x on [0;1). Similarly, a ...
