I have been trying to find more information on Poisson and Lexis trials (generalizations of Bernoulli trials), but I have failed to find anything outside of MathWorld (I went through a number of statistics books and was also unable to find anything)

Does anyone know of references which are known to contain a discussion of Poisson and Lexis trials?

  • $\begingroup$ Try searching for "Lexis ratio" instead of "Lexis trial". $\endgroup$

Here is an old 1927 paper "On Poisson's and Lexis's problem of probability of repeated trials" by Jordan Charles: http://arch.neicon.ru/xmlui/handle/123456789/1584111

See also a short article "The Meaning of Binomial Distribution" by A.W.F. Edwards: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v186/n4730/abs/1861074a0.html
