How can I obtain the mean of a Poisson distribution given the first improbable point of the distribution?

I generated a Poisson distribution with mean equal to 3 and 10000 samples by using np.random.poisson(3,10000). The plot is the following: from this plot I see that ...

Is there R functions that allow to test for overdispersion when fitting a model with survey design?

I realized I need to use the package survey to be able to include sample weights in my regression analysis. Initially, I wanted to use a negative binomial regression on each one of my outcomes as ...

MLE for Poisson conditioned on multivariate Gaussian?

I am writing some Python code to fit 2D Gaussians to fluorescent emitters on a dark background to determine the subpixel-resolution (x, y) position of the fluorescent emitter. The crude, pixel-...

Poisson distribution, Standard deviation, fitting line

Let's say I have system A, B, C, and D. Each system contains 10,000 numbers generated by Poisson distribution. The difference is the mean is different for different systems. I calculated the std dev ...

Poisson model with overdisperssion

I'm working with a dataset $X$ (of length $N$) of count data, which looks like: I developed a statistical model which can be improved, so I'm asking for any suggestions, for instance, differnet ...
