Function cmb_random_poisson

Function Documentation

unsigned cmb_random_poisson(double r)

Poisson distribution, number of arrivals per unit time in a Poisson process with arrival rate r, where r > 0.

Mean r, variance r, interarrival times exponentially distributed with mean 1/r.

Models the number of shot noise pulses, customer arrivals, incoming calls, Geiger counter clicks, etc., per unit of time.

Performs the calculation by simulating the experiment.
