what does Poisson-distributed randomness look like? Events generated by Poisson processes or amenable to the small-p binomial approximation look like Poisson.

what does Poisson-distributed randomness look like? Events generated by Poisson processes or amenable to the small-p binomial approximation look like Poisson. Events not amenable to the small-p approximation look Gaussian. Extreme value measurements (flood water levels, auction prices) look Weibull, Fréchet or Gumbel. Appropriate statistical methodologies are appropriate. sigh
