Biostatistics
The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space, given that these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event. It is essential for modeling random variables where events happen sporadically and can be connected to various fields such as genetics, epidemiology, and ecology.
