poisson_init function

Initialize vectors for poisson probability functions

Takes in the desired initialization parameters, initializes the vectors needed for the poisson probability function poisson_update methods

poisson_init(init_params = list(a = 1, b = 1), dims)

Arguments

• init_params: The list of parameters to be used for initialization
• dims: the dimensionality of the data

Returns

List of vectors to be used in the iteratively updating algorithm of parameters describing the underlying gaussian distribution of the data.
