Generalization of the Poisson distribution for the case of changing probabilities of consecutive events
E.A. Kushnirenko · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2014
In this paper the generalization of the Poisson distribution is derived for the case when each consecutive event changes event rate. A simple formula for the probability of observing of a given number of events for the selected period of time is derived for a given set of rates. Application of this distribution in high-energy physics calculations is discussed.
