These models, which moved beyond the simpler liquid drop treatment of the nucleus as having effectively no internal structure, were the first models which could explain a number of nuclear properties, including the non-spherical distribution of charge in certain nuclei.

The fact that the spherical distribution function " H " " s " ( " r " ) and nearest neighbor function " D " " o " ( " r " ) are identical for the Poisson point process can be used to statistically test if point process data appears to be that of a Poisson point process.
