The research indicates that these 'baby universes' exhibit regular patterns of behavior over extremely long timescales, similar to a Poisson process—a mathematical model used to describe the ...

In this article we review two historical approximations to the Poisson and binomial cumulative distribution functions (CDFs); that is, the Wilson—Hilferty and Camp—Paulson approximations. Both of ...
