Rate of publishing by FIRST fellows. The frequency of postdoctoral publishing is described by a Poisson (exponential) distribution with excess zero events (postdocs who do not publish). For a Poisson distribution, the population mean and variance are equal. Most traditional parametric statistics cannot be used to test hypotheses (but specialized tests to compare means can be used; see Methods).
