Poisson point process, an Uncommon card
In probability theory, statistics and related fields, a Poisson point process is a type of mathematical object that consists of points randomly located on a mathematical space with the essential feature that the points occur independently of one another.

Power 181 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 90 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The process's name derives from the fact that the number of points in any given finite region follows a Poisson distribution.
- The process and the distribution are named after French mathematician Siméon Denis Poisson.
- The process itself was discovered independently and repeatedly in several settings, including experiments on radioactive decay, telephone call arrivals and actuarial science.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Poisson point process article was read about 90,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Poisson point process
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
