In 1837 a paper by Poisson [61] was published in France, establishing the Poisson distribution. Since then a great deal of research has been done on this distribution and the distributions stemming from it. It enjoys remarkable application in medecine, psychology, genetics, biology, physics, economics and other areas. This work is an attempt to present, in an organized manner, the existing knowledge of the Poisson distribution, and so, is basicly expository in nature, and definitely not original. Complete references are given throughout. The Poisson distribution and four generalized Poisson distributions are first introduced and various properties are developed, properties which are used in the later chapters on estimation and hypothesis testing.
