In BCD: Bivariate Distributions via Conditional Specification

Random Sampling from a Bivariate Poisson Distribution via Conditional Specification

Description

Generates random samples from a bivariate Poisson distribution (BPD).

Usage

rpoisBCD(n, lambda1, lambda2, lambda3, seed = 123)

Arguments

n	number of samples to generate
lambda1	rate parameter for X that must be positive
lambda2	rate parameter for Y that must be positive
lambda3	dependence parameter that must be (0, 1]
seed	seed for random number generation (default = 123)

Value

A data frame with columns 'X' and 'Y', containing the sampled values.

Examples

samples <- rpoisBCD(n = 100, lambda1 = 0.5, lambda2 = 0.5, lambda3 = 0.5)
cor(samples$X, samples$Y) # Should be negative
