distr_poisson function

Creates a Poisson distribution parameterized by rate, the rate parameter.

Samples are nonnegative integers, with a pmf given by [REMOVE_ME]$\mbox{rate}^{k} \frac{e^{-\mbox{rate}}}{k!} [REMOVE_ME_2]$

distr_poisson(rate, validate_args = NULL)

Arguments

• rate: (numeric, torch_tensor): the rate parameter
• validate_args: whether to validate arguments or not.

Description

Samples are nonnegative integers, with a pmf given by

Examples

if (torch_is_installed()) {
m <- distr_poisson(torch_tensor(4))
m$sample()
}
