- statistics: [m, v] = poisstat (lambda)
Compute statistics of the Poisson distribution.
Arguments
-
lambda is the parameter of the Poisson distribution. The
elements of lambda must be positive
Return values
-
m is the mean of the Poisson distribution
-
v is the variance of the Poisson distribution
Example
| lambda = 1 ./ (1:6);
[m, v] = poisstat (lambda)
