stats-claw 0.1.0

//! Poisson distribution numerics, for the [`PoissonDistribution`] parameter struct.
//!
//! Equivalent to `scipy.stats.poisson(rate_parameter)`. The PMF uses `ln_gamma`
//! for the factorial, the CDF is the regularized upper incomplete gamma
//! `gamma_q(k+1, λ)`, the quantile is the smallest `k` with `cdf(k) ≥ p`, and
//! sampling uses Knuth's multiplicative method.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use stats_claw::distributions::{Moments, Pmf};
//! use stats_claw::distributions::PoissonDistribution;
//!
//! let d = PoissonDistribution { rate_parameter: 3.0, ..Default::default() };
//! // Mean and variance both equal the rate.
//! assert_eq!(d.mean(), Some(3.0));
//! assert_eq!(d.variance(), Some(3.0));
//! // PMF is positive at a support point.
//! assert!(d.pmf(3) > 0.0, "pmf at mode was {}", d.pmf(3));
//! ```
