The Skellam distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the difference N_1-N_2 of two statistically independent random variables N_1 and N_2, each Poisson-distributed with respective expected values \mu_1 and \mu_2 It is useful in describing the statistics of the difference of two images with simple photon noise, as well as describing the point spread distribution in sports where all scored points are equal, such as baseball, hockey and soccer.

Statistical randomness

A numeric sequence is said to be statistically random when it contains no recognizable patterns or regularities; sequences such as the results of an ideal dice roll or the digits of π exhibit statistical randomness.
