Poisson Probability Distribution01:09

Poisson Probability Distribution

8.4K
A Poisson probability distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It gives the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events happen at a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. For example, a book editor might be interested in the number of words spelled incorrectly in a particular book. It might be that, on average, there are five words spelled incorrectly in 100 pages. The interval is 100 pages.

 The probability of a random variable x  is the likelihood of its occurrence. A probability distribution represents the probabilities of a random variable using a formula, graph, or table. There are two types of probability distribution– discrete probability distribution and continuous probability distribution.
A discrete probability distribution is a probability distribution of discrete random variables. It can be categorized into binomial probability distribution and Poisson...

Binomial Probability Distribution

11.3K
A binomial distribution is a probability distribution for a procedure with a fixed number of trials, where each trial can have only two outcomes.
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...

Probability in Statistics

Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring. The term event is defined as a collection of results of a procedure. An event is a simple event when an outcome cannot be divided into simpler parts.
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...

Probability Histograms

12.2K
A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Area of Science:

  • Urban security and criminology
  • Data science and predictive modeling

Background:

  • Crime poses a significant threat to urban public and social security.
  • Traditional policing strategies lack real-time responsiveness and have limited effectiveness in crime deterrence and control.
  • Existing crime distribution prediction models suffer from low accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more accurate crime distribution prediction model.
  • To improve the timeliness and effectiveness of crime prevention and control strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a large dataset of criminal trajectories to analyze urban crowd movement patterns.
  • Quantifying temporal and spatial transfer probabilities of population movement.
  • Constructing a spatio-temporal transfer probability model for criminal groups by integrating Markov chains and Bayes' theorem.

Main Results:

  • The proposed model quantitatively describes crowd movement characteristics.
  • A novel probability model for spatio-temporal transfer of criminal groups was developed.
  • The model accurately predicts crime occurrences in urban grid areas.

Conclusions:

  • The improved transition probability matrix model enhances crime distribution prediction accuracy.
  • This approach offers a more effective tool for urban crime prevention and public security management.
  • Spatio-temporal analysis of crowd movement provides valuable insights for law enforcement.
