poisson#

Class is used for generation of Poisson distributed integer types random numbers.

Description

The class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate() function to provide random numbers Poisson distributed with distribution parameter \(\lambda\), where \(\lambda \in R; \lambda > 0;\).

The probability distribution is given by:

\[P(X = k) = \frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!}.\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{\lambda}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \sum_{k = 0}^{\lfloor x \rfloor} \frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!}, x \ge 0 \\ 0, x < 0 \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

class poisson#

Syntax

namespace oneapi::mkl::rng {
template<typename IntType = std::int32_t, typename Method = poisson_method::by_default>
class poisson {
public:
    using method_type = Method;
    using result_type = IntType;
    poisson();
    explicit poisson(double lambda);
    double lambda() const;
};
}

Template parameters

typename IntType
Type of the produced values. Supported types:

  • std::int32_t

typename Method = oneapi::mkl::rng::poisson_method::by_default

Transformation method, which will be used for generation. Supported types:

  • oneapi::mkl::rng::poisson_method::by_default

  • oneapi::mkl::rng::poisson_method::ptpe

  • oneapi::mkl::rng::poisson_method::gaussian_icdf_based

See description of the methods in Distributions methods template parameter.
