Function for generating values from Poisson distributions | CPN ML |
poisson(m:real) : int
where m>0.0
. Returns a drawing from a Poisson distribution with
intensity m
.
Raises Poisson
exception, if m
<=0.0.
Mean: | m |
Variance: | m |
Probability mass functions for Poisson distributions:
poisson(100.0)
A company has a network with a certain load. Each second an average
of 100
packets is sent to the network. The number of packets
arriving to the network per second is Poisson distributed with intensity m=100.0
.
