PoissonDistribution Type

Namespace: Altaxo.Calc.Probability.Old
Assembly: AltaxoCore.Redist.dll
Base Type: ProbabilityDistribution

Generates Poisson distributed random numbers. 

             Returns a Poisson distributed deviate (integer returned in a double)
             from a distribution of mean m.
             The Poisson distribution gives the probability of a certain integer
             number m of unit rate Poisson random events occurring in a given
             interval of time x.
