Understanding Poisson Distribution by Davide Radice is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Poisson distribution, derived by French mathematician Poisson in 1837, describes the probability of rare events occurring in a large number of opportunities. Its first application was by Bortkiewicz in 1898, analyzing the number of deaths caused by horse kicks in the Prussian army. The distribution has various applications, including mortality rates, misprints, and traffic counts.
