is.pois: is.pois

Description

judge if the data obey poisson distribution

Usage

is.pois(x, a, lambda = NULL)

Arguments

x
x
a
confidence level
lambda
parameter, the number of successful events in unit time.

Value

  • if data obey the distribution, return a value represent the likelihood, the larger the better; else return -1.

Details

Given a set of observations from a certain distribution, this function is used to test whether the observations are from a distribution of possion distribution or not.

Examples

Run this code
require(stats)
examplecheck<-rpois(100,10)
is.pois(examplecheck,0.05)
#examplecheck is a dataset with a defined distribution you want to check. Suppose you want the confidence level to be 0.05#
