Description
viRngPoissonv The vRngPoissonV function generates n Poisson distributed random numbers xi ( i = 1, …, n ) with distribution parameter λ_{i} , where λ_{i}∈R ; λ_{i} > 0 .
The probability distribution is given by:
The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

-
stream is not a valid random stream.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_UPDATE
-
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns an invalid number of updated entries in a buffer, that is, < 0 or > nmax .
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_NO_NUMBERS
-
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns 0 as the number of updated entries in a buffer.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_QRNG_PERIOD_ELAPSED
-
Period of the generator has been exceeded.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_NONDETERM_NRETRIES_EXCEEDED
-
