Introduction & Importance

Poisson analysis is a statistical method used to predict the number of events occurring within a specific time interval. 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 if these events occur with a known constant rate.
