public class SmallMeanPoissonSampler extends Object implements SharedStateDiscreteSampler
Sampler for the Poisson distribution.-
For small means, a Poisson process is simulated using uniform deviates, as described in
Knuth (1969). Seminumerical Algorithms. The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2. Chapter 3.4.1.F.3 Important integer-valued distributions: The Poisson distribution. Addison Wesley.
The Poisson process (and hence, the returned value) is bounded by1000 * mean
.
This sampler is suitable for
mean < 40
. For large means,LargeMeanPoissonSampler
should be used instead.Sampling uses
UniformRandomProvider.nextDouble()
and requires on averagemean + 1
deviates per sample.- Since:
- 1.1
