rpois function
This function generates a list of random variables that follow a Poisson distribution with a certain average rate of success, In other words, we can say as this function generates a vector of Poisson distributed random variables.
Syntax: rpois(n, lambda)
Parameters:
- n: number of random variables to generate
- lambda: average rate of success
Example:
In this example, we are generating a list of 20 random variables that follow a Poisson distribution with a rate of success equal to 6.
R
rpois(n=15, lambda=6) |
Output:
[1] 5 9 4 7 7 9 6 8 4 3 9 3 2 2 9
