Poisson Process

Aim of the Experiment

The aim of this experiment is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the Poisson random process, a fundamental stochastic process widely used in modeling random events occurring over time or space. Through this experiment, students will:

  • Explore the properties and characteristics of the Poisson process.
  • Understand its assumptions, including independence of increments.
  • Simulate Poisson processes using computational tools.
  • Analyze real-world phenomena modeled by Poisson processes, such as:
    • Emission of radioactive particles.
    • Arrival times at queues.
