Exponential distribution is a function of probability theory and statistics. This kind of distribution deals with continuous probability distributions and is part of the continuous analogue of the geometric distribution in math.

What is the history of exponential distribution?

Exponential DistributionThe exponential distribution is a very commonly used distribution in reliability engineering. Due to its simplicity, it has been widely employed even in cases to which it does not apply. The exponential distribution is used to describe units that have a constant failure rate.

How do you express hypoexponential distribution in terms of exponential distribution?

The hypoexponential distribution is two or more exponential distribution convolved together, so:hypo[x] = integral of A*exp(-A*x)*B*exp(-B*(t-x)) from 0 to t.If you have more stages you do more convolutions.

Relationship between Exponential and Poisson Distributions?

Poisson distribution shows the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time. Example; if average of 5 cars are passing through in 1 minute. probability of 4 cars passing can be calculated by using Poisson distribution. Exponential distribution shows the probability of waiting times between occurrences of events. If we use the same example; probability of a car coming in next 40 seconds can be calculated by using exponential distribution. -Poisson : probability of x times occurrence -Exponential : probability of waiting times between events.
