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?



References for Poisson and Lexis trials
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>
