Question

Accepted Answer

Poisson Distribution is used for count data while Gumbel Distribution is used for extreme value analysis.

Poisson Distribution models the number of occurrences of an event in a fixed interval of time or space.
Gumbel Distribution models the maximum or minimum value from a large set of data.
Poisson Distribution has a discrete probability distribution while Gumbel Distribution has a continuous probability distribution.
Poisson Distribution has only one parameter while Gumbel Distribution has two parameters.
