pois_est: Method of Moments Estimation of Poisson distribution

In MOM: Estimation and Testing of Hypothesis

Method of Moments Estimation of Poisson distribution

Description

function to get the method of moment estimate(s) of poisson distribution

Usage

pois_est(data, plot = TRUE, curvecol = "red", ...)

Arguments

data	A numeric vector.
plot	logical which controls whether the barplot of the data along with the probability curve of the theoretical poisson distribution with the estimated parameters.
curvecol	color of the theoretical probability curve
...	additional plotting parameters

Value

the estimated parameters by the method of moments of the data assuming the underlying distribution is poisson distribution

Examples

pois_est(data=rpois(1000,lambda=2),plot=TRUE)
pois_est(data=rpois(1000,lambda=0.2),plot=FALSE)#will not give the plot
