RPois: Simulate random number from the Poisson distribution.

In google/amss: Agreggate Marketing System Simulator

Description

Generate random integers from the Poisson distribution if possible, given integer overflow constraints. Otherwise, approximate the Poisson with the normal distribution.

Usage

RPois(n, lambda)

Arguments

n	number of random values to return. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.
lambda	vector of (non-negative) means.

Value

RPois returns random numbers from the Poisson distribution, or its normal approximation. The function will return a numeric value, rather than an integer.
