#' Poisson Log Likelihood Function
#'
#' The log likelihood of a Poisson density with data, x, lambda parameter.
#'
#' @details The log likelihood is the log of a function of parameters given the
#' data.
#'
#' @return A numeric scalar for the log likelihood of the Poisson density given
#' the data where lambda can be held constant or if vector were given vector
#' will be returned.
