    Over the years, I have searched literally dozens of text books and articles to get an idea why the exponential distribution is a declining curve. This is the first instance that I have encountered a 'success' -- to use a statistical jargon. A similar reasoning explains the exponential smoothing model for forecasting, and only a couple of authors have really bothered to explain it. Great job Justin! Pretty soon, I guess you will need to revise the number of visits to your website!!!!! Thanks a lot!

    Justin explains exactly what I was wondering about the concept, or the big picture, about Exponential Distribution. I wanted so badly to interpret its graph, but there was no tutorial that told me about it until I reached this video. And this one is amazing! It just enlightens all that I wanted to know about this subject. Thanks a lot, Justin!

    Another way to get an intuition for the shape of the exponential distribution would be to draw events on a number line you first draw them equal width apart (if it’s 3 hours per event then draw them one hour apart). Now sample 1 point per hour or something like that, you’ll see that the waiting times follow a uniform distribution. Now we can try to “randomize” the intervals a bit aka move the events around by for example one event 2 hours early and another 2 hours late to balance it out (so that the average rate stays the same). You can see that for the two intervals surrounding the event that’s moved two hours early, they were originally both 3 hours. Then, after the move, they become 1 and 5 hours. For the first interval, all waiting times within 1 hour still remain, on the other hand, higher waiting times between 1 and 3 hours are stripped away and converted to waiting times 3-5 hours in the second intervals. Higher waiting times have a higher chance of being converted to even higher waiting times, but lower waiting times do not. That’s why the density is higher towards shorter waiting times. I hope it makes sense.
    Another even simpler way to look at it is: if we sample the waiting times once per hour, for every waiting time of 3 hours, there MUST be one sample each for 2, 1 and 0 hours between it and the next event. On the other hand, if you have a waiting time of 1 hour, there isn’t a guarantee that there exist waiting times higher than 1 hour. In general terms, an instance of a longer waiting time corresponds to one instance each of all the waiting times shorter than it; however, the opposite doesn’t hold true (an instance of a shorter waiting time doesn’t guarantee an instance of any higher waiting time). That’s why the density HAS TO decrease towards higher waiting times.

    The axes on the graphs could do with some explanation...
    6:06 On the Poisson distribution PMF graph on the left:
    - The X axis represents unique visitors to the website per hour.
    - The Y axis represents the probability of each discrete number of people visiting per hour.
    On the Exponential distribution PDF graph on the right:
    - The X axis represents hours until next arrival.
    - The Y axis does NOT represent the probability itself, which would have a scale of 0 to 1. Rather, the Y axis represents the PROBABILITY DENSITY, which is the RELATIVE LIKELIHOOD of each value on the X axis occurring. It's scale (0 to 3 in this case) is such that the total area under the graph = 1.
    08:27 - On both CDF graphs, the Y axes DO represent the probability (scale 0 - 1).
    10:21 until the end - The Y axis still represents the probability density (converted for minutes) and not the actual probability.
    17:10 The explanation is a bit misleading. It doesn't explain why the graph falls; if the Y axis represented the probability of visitors arriving within discrete periods on the X axis, it would fall anyway, in a linear fashion, so that the product of the values on the X and Y axes remained uniform. But it does explain why the graph is CONCAVE, due the exponential nature of the function, and not linear. It's also unfortunate and confusing in this example that the PROBABILITY DENSITY at 0 minutes (0.05) is the same figure as the PROBABILITY that a visitor lands within each minute (0.05). They are not the same thing.

    • @NickHope
      @NickHope 7 месяцев назад

      Because 0.95 keeps getting multiplied by itself in the function. In other words, it is a constant being raised to a power, which is the nature of an exponential function.

    Thanks for the wonderful explanation. Just one confusion in the section "Visualisation (PDF and CDF)" - the Exponential distribution graph at @6:35 minutes is correct? because on the Y-axis you have put values greater than 1. but shouldn't these values be less than 1 representing the probability?

    Would have been nice to state that the y-axis on the exponential dist is lambda for the PDF and a percentage for the CDF.
    Unlike the Poisson Dist as both are in percentage.
    This confused me as I wasn't sure what the Y axis meant. I naturally thought percentage and was wondering why nothing was adding up correctly especially at 16:44 - I was like, it should equal 0.025 or 2.5% which is of course wrong. I watched the whole video with the wrong assumption haha

    • @NickHope
      @NickHope 7 месяцев назад

      - The Y axis on the exponential distribution PDF does not represent Lambda (nor the probability). It actually represents the PROBABILITY DENSITY, which is the RELATIVE LIKELIHOOD of each value on the X axis occurring. It's scale (0 to 3 in this case) is such that the total area under the graph = 1. But you're right that this was not explained at all in the video.
      - The Y axis on the exponential CDF and the Poisson distributions is probability, on a scale of 0 to 1, and not percentage, which would have a scale of 0 to 100.

    Good day! I see many other channels explaining this all wrong. You explain the poison mean as the inverse of the exponential mean and vice versa. The inverse of the exponential mean is also lambda in the exponential distribution function. Other channels are failing to explain that correlation.

  • @jonathshijan
    @jonathshijan 2 месяца назад +1

    Prob that visitor lands before 6:01 and before 6:21 are the same due to memorylessness. When applying the same logic to the problem you solved last, I don't get the logic behind the probabilities differing. Those should also be the same using the same logic and memorylessness?

I do want to ask this question pertaining to the Poisson requirement that the events must occur at a constant rate paradox. If they're occuring at a constant rate. Does this requirement apply on the average sense? Otherwise, if the rate of events (events per time) is constant, then why are what is the purpose of the distribution?

    Wait so based on the ending, does that mean that the longer his website goes without a visitor the less and less likely that his website will be visited, such that by 120 minutes or 2 hours it is almost 0% likely that someone will visit his website??

    • @ankganityt
      @ankganityt 4 года назад

      The example ends at 1 hour only.... so he is taking that in reference that after 1 or 2 hours there will be no visitor. Obviously, as time passes chances getting lower that visitor will come to your site.

    • @tikku195
      @tikku195 3 года назад +1

      munchees No, the conclusion which you seem to be drawing is incorrect. First, remember that the event i.e. arriving of visitors is independent. Second, note that the random variable X under consideration is the waiting time and not counting the number/probability of visitors arriving.
      So, to your question, yes the probability of visitor arriving in the 120th minute (and after) is almost 0, but it also means that it is almost 100% likely that the visitor will arrive much before than 120 mins.
