Two Type Poisson Experiment


Description and Use

The experiment is to run a Poisson process until time t. Each arrival is type 1 with probability p or type 0 with probability 1 - p. In the timeline, the type 1 arrivals are shown as red dots and the type 0 arrivals as green dots. The number of type 1 arrivals M and the number of type 0 arrivals W are recorded on each update. The densities and moments of M and W are shown in blue in the distribution graphs and are recorded in the distribution tables. On each update, the empirical densities and moments of M and W are shown in red in the distribution graphs and are recorded in the distribution tables. The parameters are the rate of the process r, the time t, and the probability p. These can be varied with scroll bars.

Instructions for Downloading and Installing

Click on the link below to download the Java archive file:

To add the applet to your web page, insert the following in the html file, at the point where you want the applet to appear:

<applet code="edu.uah.math.experiments.PoissonSplitExperiment.class" archive="PoissonSplitExperiment.jar" width="600" height="450"></applet>

The jar file and the html file must be in the same folder.

This width and height dimensions are simply suggestions and can be varied. Generally, components such as graphs and tables expand and contract proportionally, while components such as buttons, scrollbars, dice, and coins are fixed in size.
