oneapi::mkl::rng::poisson_v
Generates Poisson distributed random values with varying mean.
Description
The oneapi::mkl::rng::poisson_v class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate function to provide n Poisson distributed random numbers xi(i = 1, …, n) with distribution parameter λi, where λi∈R; λi> 0.
The probability distribution is given by:
 
   The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

- explicit poisson_v(std::vector<double> lambda); is deprecated and will be removed in one of the next releases. Use explicit poisson_v(sycl::span<double> lambda); instead.
 When passing a sycl::span that is constructed over a user’s memory to the constructor, users must manage the memory under sycl::span by themselves. They must not destroy the memory while data are processed.
