Ppoisson random values that follow a Poisson Distribution (positive integer values)

superclass: Pattern

Ppoisson(mean, dev, length)

mean The mean of the distribution (defaults to 1)

length number of values produced (default: inf)

// example

(

var a, c, w;

a = Ppoisson(1.0, inf);

c = a.asStream.nextN(500);

w = GUI.window.new("Ppoisson", Rect(10, 10, 540, 800));

// plot the values

c.plot(bounds: Rect(10, 10, 520, 380), discrete: true, parent: w);

// a histogram of the values

c.histo(500).plot(bounds: Rect(10, 410, 520, 380), parent: w);

)

(

var a, c, w;

a = Ppoisson(10.0, inf);

c = a.asStream.nextN(500);

w = GUI.window.new("Ppoisson", Rect(10, 10, 540, 800));

// plot the values

c.plot(bounds: Rect(10, 10, 520, 380), discrete: true, parent: w);

// a histogram of the values

c.histo(500).plot(bounds: Rect(10, 410, 520, 380), parent: w);
