Generate Poisson Distributed Values

Generates a set of Poisson distributed values.

r_pois(rate, ..., n = default_n(rate), .seed = NULL)

Arguments

rate	vector of rates, strictly positive
...	Unused
n	number of observations to generate. The default_n() function will provide a default value within context
.seed	One of the following: NULL (default) will not change the current seed. This is the usual case for generating random numbers. A numeric value. This will be used to set the seed before generating the random numbers. This seed will be stored with the results. TRUE. A random seed value will be generated and set as the seed before the results are generated. Again, this will be stored with the results. To extract the random seed from a previously generated set of values, use pull_seed()

Value

A numeric vector of length n

Examples

set_n(5)

r_pois(10)
#> [1]  7  9 12  9  5

r_pois(1:10)
#>  [1]  0  2  3  6  8 10  8 10  5  8

r_pois(10, n = 10)
#>  [1] 11 13  8  8 14  7  6 11  4 12
