The exponential distribution characterizes the waiting time for an event when the probability of the event occurring is constant.

The exponential distribution has one parameter: ScaleParameter, which corresponds to the waiting time until an event occurs.

The discrete form of the exponential distribution is the Geometric distribution.

The exponential distribution is also complementary to the Poisson distribution. Where the Poisson distribution models the number of occurrances in a given time interval, the exponential distribution models the time until the next occurrance.
