rndp#
Purpose#
Computes pseudo-random numbers with Poisson distribution.
Format#
- x = rndp(r, c, lambda)#
- Parameters:
r (scalar) – number of rows of resulting matrix.
c (scalar) – number of columns of resulting matrix.
lambda (MxN matrix) – ExE conformable with r x c resulting matrix, shape parameters for Poisson distribution.
- Returns:
x (r x c matrix) – Poisson distributed pseudo-random numbers.
Remarks#
The properties of the pseudo-random numbers in x are:
E(x) |
= |
lambda |
Var(x) |
= |
lambda |
x |
= |
0,1,2,… |
