umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.PoissonTIACGen

public class PoissonTIACGen
extends PoissonGen

This class implements random variate generators having the Poisson distribution (see PoissonGen). Uses the tabulated inversion combined with the acceptance complement (TIAC) method of. The implementation is adapted from UNURAN.

Constructor Detail

PoissonTIACGen

public PoissonTIACGen(RandomStream s,
                      double lambda)

Creates a Poisson random variate generator with parameter λ = lambda, using stream s.

PoissonTIACGen

public PoissonTIACGen(RandomStream s,
                      PoissonDist dist)

Creates a new random variate generator using the Poisson distribution dist and stream s.

Method Detail

nextInt

public int nextInt()

Description copied from class: RandomVariateGenInt

Generates a random number (an integer) from the discrete distribution contained in this object. By default, this method uses inversion by calling the inverseF method of the distribution object. Alternative generating methods are provided in subclasses.

Overrides:

nextInt in class RandomVariateGenInt

Returns:

the generated value

nextInt

public static int nextInt(RandomStream s,
                          double lambda)
