Example: The random variable X ∼ N(5, 9). Find: (i) Pr(X < 8) (ii) Pr(X < 3) (iii) Pr(2 ≤ X ≤ 11) First, recall that the second parameter (9) is the variance, so the standard deviation is √ 9 = 3. (i) Pr(X < 8) = PrZ...

The easy-to-compute Anscombe transform offers a conversion of a Poisson random variable into a variance stabilized Gaussian one, thus becoming handy in various Poisson-noisy inverse problems. Solution to such problems can be done by applying this transform, then invoking a high-performance Gaussian-...
The Poisson random variable has mean (3)E[Y]=λT and variance (4)Var[Y]=λT. These are derived for the case T=1 in any basic statistics book. For convenience at this point, we will focus on that case as well. Where necessary, we will reinstate the exposure as part of the model...

(a) Prove that the variance of the Poisson distribution is Var[X] = lambda (derive that equation) Var[X] = E[(X - E [X])^2] = lambda. (b) Prove the memory less property of the exponential distribution Let X be a Poisson rando...

The variance of a distribution of a random variable is an important feature. This number indicates the spread of a distribution, and it is found by squaring thestandard deviation. One commonly used discretedistributionis that of the Poisson distribution. We will see how to calculate the variance...
