Option variable
random_poisson_algorithm
Default value: ahrens_dieter
This is the selected algorithm for simulating random Poisson variates. Implemented algorithms are ahrens_dieter
and inverse
:
ahrens_dieter
, based on algorithm described in Ahrens, J.H. and Dieter, U. (1982) Computer Generation of Poisson Deviates From Modified Normal Distributions. ACM Trans. Math. Software, 8, 2, June,163-179.
inverse
, based on the general inverse method.
