Poisson_Sim function

Simulation for Poisson Distribution

A simple function to understand the algorithm to simulate (psuedo-)observations from binomial distribution. It is an implementation of the algorithm given in Section 11.3.1 "Simulation from Discrete Distributions". This function is not an alternative to the "rpois" function.

Poisson_Sim(lambda, n)

Arguments

• lambda: rate of the Poisson RV
• n: required number of pseudo-observations
