Abstract: | Occurrences of a behavior pattern are sometimes recorded by tabulating, for each time period in the sample, whether the behavior occurred at least once in that period. Since repeated occurrences are not included, the tabulation does not furnish an estimate of the true rate at which the behavior is occurring. Nevertheless, under certain conditions, the rate can be estimated from such data, using the Poisson distribution.Research supported by Grant FR-00165 from the National Institutes of Health and by Grant GB-8287 from the National Science Foundation. |
