udpois: UNU.RAN object for Poisson distribution

In Runuran: R Interface to the 'UNU.RAN' Random Variate Generators

UNU.RAN object for Poisson distribution

Description

Create UNU.RAN object for a Poisson distribution with parameter lambda.

[Distribution] – Poisson.

Usage

udpois(lambda, lb = 0, ub = Inf)

Arguments

lambda	(non-negative) mean.
lb	lower bound of (truncated) distribution.
ub	upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Details

The Poisson distribution has density

p(x) = lambda^x exp(-lambda)/x!

for x = 0, 1, 2, ….

The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the interval (lb,ub).

Value

An object of class "unuran.discr".

Examples

## Create distribution object for Poisson distribution
dist <- udpois(lambda=2.3)
## Generate generator object; use method DARI
gen <- darid.new(dist)
## Draw a sample of size 100
x <- ur(gen,100)
