Definitions:

Probability Density Function

A mathematical function that describes the likelihood of different possible outcomes in a continuous random variable.

Exponential Distribution

A continuous probability distribution that is used to model the time between events in a Poisson point process.

Poisson Model

A statistical model used to predict the number of events occurring within a fixed interval of time or space, assuming events occur with a known constant rate and independently of the time since the last event.

Exponential Random Variable

A type of continuous random variable often used to model the time between events in a process with a constant rate.
