poissonDistribution

poissonDistribution(lambda): number[]

Defined in: src/poisson_distribution.js:22

The Poisson Distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time and/or space if these events occur with a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event.

The Poisson Distribution is characterized by the strictly positive mean arrival or occurrence rate, λ.

Returns undefined when the distribution cannot be calculated: when lambda is not a strictly positive number, or when it is large enough that the table would run past a million cells.
