Currently I am reading about stochastic processes. I cannot understand how one can extend distribution to a process (like a particular example is Poisson distribution and Process). But can we extend the same idea for other distributions like weibull distribution etc. What are the sufficient and necessary conditions to get process from distribution?

I searched about Poisson distribution and process and i reached at the following conclusion.

A Poisson process is a non-deterministic process where events occur continuously and independently of each other. An example of a Poisson process is the radioactive decay of radionuclides.

A Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that represents the probability of events (having a Poisson process) occurring in a certain period of time.

Is there is any reference how we can extend distribution to a process especially for continuous families?
