Term
| 3 criteria of a poisson process |
|
Definition
1. The probability of two or more successes in any sufficiently small subinterval is 0
2. The probability of success is the same for any two intervals of equal length
3. The number of successess in any interval is independent as long as it isn't overlapping |
