udpois function

UNU.RAN object for Poisson distribution

Create UNU.RAN object for a Poisson distribution with parameter lambda.

[Distribution] -- Poisson.

udpois(lambda, lb = 0, ub = Inf)

Arguments

• lambda: (non-negative) mean.
• lb: lower bound of (truncated) distribution.
• ub: upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Details

The Poisson distribution has density

for $x = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$.

The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the interval (lb,ub).

Returns

An object of class "unuran.discr".

Examples

## Create distribution object for Poisson distribution
dist <- udpois(lambda=2.3)
## Generate generator object; use method DARI
gen <- darid.new(dist)
## Draw a sample of size 100
x <- ur(gen,100)
