A Note On the Estimation of the Poisson Parameter

This paper considers the problem of estimating the mean of a Poisson distribution when there are errors in observing the zeros and ones and obtains both the maximum likelihood and moments estimates of the Poisson mean and the error probabilities. It is interesting to note that either method fails to...
