Poisson Distribution Sample Generator

Poisson Distribution Sample Generator

Generate random samples from a Poisson distribution with rate parameter \(\lambda > 0\). Samples are generated using the inverse transform method (Knuth’s algorithm).

* Enter the rate parameter \(\lambda\) and the desired number of samples.

Step 1: Enter Parameters

e.g., 3

e.g., 1000

Samples are generated using Knuth’s algorithm for the Poisson distribution.
