Class template poisson_distribution

boost::poisson_distribution

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/random/poisson_distribution.hpp>

template<typename IntType = int, typename RealType = double> 
class poisson_distribution {
public:
  // types
  typedef RealType input_type; 
  typedef IntType  result_type;

  // construct/copy/destruct
  poisson_distribution(const RealType & = RealType(1));

  // public member functions
  RealType mean() const;
  void reset();
  template<typename Engine> result_type operator()(Engine &);
};

Description

An instantiation of the class template poisson_distribution is a model of random distribution . The poisson distribution has

poisson_distribution public construct/copy/destruct

  1. poisson_distribution(const RealType & mean_arg = RealType(1));

    Constructs a poisson_distribution with the parameter mean.

    Requires: mean > 0

poisson_distribution public member functions

  1. RealType mean() const;

    Returns: the "mean" parameter of the distribution.

  2. void reset();
  3. template<typename Engine> result_type operator()(Engine & eng);
