r: r

In cynzajac/CZPoisson: CZPoisson R Package

Description

r calculates the probability mass function for the Poisson distribution.

Usage

r(x, lamb, log = FALSE)

Arguments

x	vector of non-negative counts
lamb	vector of non-negative means for Poisson distribution
log	logical; if TRUE, returns log of probability of x. If FALSE, returns the probabilities of x

Details

r implements Catherine Loader's algorithm for Poisson probabilities (pmf) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/octave-maintainers/2011-09/pdfK0uKOST642.pdf

Value

r returns the (log) probability of the observed count x given lamb
