Ms Aerin · Follow Published in Towards Data Science · 7 min read · Jun 1, 2019 8.2K 39 Before we set the parameter λ and plug it into the formula, let’s pause for a second and ponder a few questions. Why did Poisson have to invent the Poisson Distribution? Why does this distribution exist (= why did he invent it)? When is Poisson the appropriate choice for modeling? 1. Why did Poisson invent the Poisson Distribution? To predict the number of events that will take place in the future! More precisely, to predict the probability of a specific number of events occurring within a fixed time inter
