INTERVAL ESTIMATION FOR THE POISSON DISTRIBUTION PARAMETER WITH A SINGLE OBSERVATION ESTIMACIÓN POR INTERVALO DEL PARÁMETRO DE LA DISTRIBUCIÓN DE POISSON CON UNA SOLA OBSERVACIÓN

The estimation of the parameter of the Poisson distribution, say λ, is an important task in applied statistics. Frequently we only have available a single observation and our goal is to construct a confidence interval. We illustrate under what conditions we can construct a confidence interval based...
