This lecture introduces the Poisson distribution, highlighting its significance as a fundamental discrete distribution in statistics. It examines its applications as an approximation and its relationship with the Binomial distribution.
We introduce the Poisson distribution, which is arguably the most important discrete distribution in all of statistics. We explore its uses as an approximate distribution and its connections with the Binomial.
