pdf.Poisson: Evaluate the probability mass function of a Poisson distribution

Description

Evaluate the probability mass function of a Poisson distribution

Usage

# S3 method for Poisson
pdf(d, x, ...)

# S3 method for Poisson log_pdf(d, x, ...)

Arguments

d

A Poisson object created by a call to Poisson().

x

A vector of elements whose probabilities you would like to determine given the distribution d.

...

Unused. Unevaluated arguments will generate a warning to catch mispellings or other possible errors.

Value

A vector of probabilities, one for each element of x.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
set.seed(27)

X <- Poisson(2)
X

random(X, 10)

pdf(X, 2)
log_pdf(X, 2)

cdf(X, 4)
quantile(X, 0.7)

cdf(X, quantile(X, 0.7))
quantile(X, cdf(X, 7))
