The testing of the goodness of fit of a data to a Poisson distribution through the Poissonness plot is an interesting way to obtain a visual standpoint of the issue. Based on a real data from the said distribution, the paper discusses how the plot can be used to detect the lack of fit of the...

The Poisson distribution, in general remains sensitive to small departure of frequencies especially at the right tail of the distribution. In many situations it may happen that the Generalized Poisson Distribution (GPD) or a compound distribution provides a closer fit to a frequency distribution...

Searching information in the web, is a common feature and the most easy way to get oneself exposed to a see of knowledge. The simplicity and economic way of getting information in the web made it widely acceptable amongst the citizens including the researchers. However, all the information...

The use of simulation in industry, of late, has become an important technique. It is used in the analysis of a number of complex systems, where analytical methods are either difficult to apply or not possible to apply. The problem discussed here is to increase the reliability of a system, which,...
