Description

Generate n pseudo random numbers from a Poisson distribution.

Usage

poissonSim(n = 1, lambda = 1, seed = as.integer(Sys.time()))

Arguments

n	the number of pseudo random Poisson numbers to generate. Defaults to 1.
lambda	Shape parameter indicating the average number off events in a given time interval. Defaults to 1.
seed	Seed for pseudo random number generating algorithm. Defaults to a integer generated from the system time

Value

vector of Poisson random variants of length n
