Description
A positively-skewed continuous probability distribution that is fully described by a single rate parameter (lambda). Its likelihood is lambda at the starting value 0 and declines steadily while extending indefinitely to the right or positive direction. Both the mean and the standard deviation are the reciprocal of the rate parameter lambda.
