Module rgsl::randist::poisson [] [src]

Functions

poisson

This function returns a random integer from the Poisson distribution with mean mu. The probability distribution for Poisson variates is,

poisson_P

This function computes the cumulative distribution functions P(k), Q(k) for the Poisson distribution with parameter mu.

poisson_Q

This function computes the cumulative distribution functions P(k), Q(k) for the Poisson distribution with parameter mu.

poisson_pdf

This function computes the probability p(k) of obtaining k from a Poisson distribution with mean mu, using the formula given above.
