Parameter of Poisson Distribution
- $\mu$
Used as an alternative to $\lambda$ to denote the parameter of a given Poisson distribution.
Moment of Discrete Random Variable
- $\mu'_n$
Let $X$ be a discrete random variable.
Then the $n$th moment of $X$ is denoted $\mu'_n$ and defined as:
- $\mu'_n = \expect {X^n}$
where $\expect {\, \cdot \,}$ denotes the expectation function.
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\mu'_n\) is \mu'_n .
