2.FITTING OF POISSON DISTRIBUTION (DIRECT METHOD USING EXCEL)

PROBLEM 2.1: Fit a Poisson distribution to the following data and also calculate expected
frequencies.

x 0 1 2 3 4
f 109 65 22 3 1

AIM: To fit a Poisson distribution to the given data and also calculate expected frequencies
using Excel.

FORMULA AND PROCEDURE:

The probability mass function (p.m.f) of Poisson distribution is

P(X=x) = e-λλx/x! x = 0,1,2,3,….,∞; λ > 0

P(X=x) = 0 ; otherwise

STEP 1 : Calculate mean for estimating parameter (λ) if parameter is not specified in the
problem.

STEP 2: Format for calculating probability by Poisson function is :

P(X= x) = POISSON.DIST(x,Mean ,Cumulative)

X = The number of successes,


λ =The expected or average number of successes

Cumulative = False if you wish to compute the probability of exactly x


successes.
= True if you wish to compute the probability of x or fewer
successes.
STEP 3: Expected Frequency (E.F) = N * P(X= x),
Where N = Total frequency

CALCULATION:

Where N = Ʃfi = 200

Mean = Ʃfixi / Ʃ fi = 0.61

λ = 0.61
CONCLUSION:

To fit a poisson distribution to the given data in Excel,

P(X=x) = e-λλx/x! x = 0,1,2,3,….,∞; 0.61> 0

P(X=x) = 0 ; otherwise

The expected frequencies are 109,66,20,4,1.

The expected frequencies are 109,66,20,4,1.

2.3 . Fit a Poisson distribution using recurrence relation the following data

x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
f 305 365 210 80 28 9 2 1

Solution:

AIM: To fit a Poisson distribution to the given data by recurrence relation method.

FORMULA AND PROCEDURE:


The recurrence relation for the calculation of probabilities is

P(X= x+1) = (λ / x+1) P(X=x); for x = 0,1,2,….

Where λ > 0 is the known as the parameter of the Poisson distribution

STEP 1 : Enter the given data in Excel.


STEP 2 : Calculate mean for estimating parameter (λ) if parameter is not specified in
the problem.

STEP 3:Format for calculating probability by Poisson function is :

P(X =x) = POISSON.DIST (x,Mean ,Cumulative)

X = The number of successes,

λ =The expected or average number of successes

Cumulative = False if you wish to compute the probability of exactly x


successes.
= True if you wish to compute the probability of x or fewer
successes.
• For P(x = 0 ) = POISSON.DIST(0, λ , FALSE)
• Drag the formula down for the values of P(x)
STEP 4 : Compute probabilities using Recurrance Relation
P(X = x + 1) = (λ / x+1) P(X=x); for x = 0,1,2,….

STEP 5: Expected Frequency (E.F) = N * P(X= x),


Where N = Total frequency

CALCULATION:

CONCLUSION:

To fit a poisson distribution to the given data,

P(X=x) = e-λλx/x! x = 0,1,2,3,….,∞; 0.61> 0

P(X=x) = 0 ; otherwise

The expected frequencies are 301,361,217,87,26,6,1,0.
