Poisson Distribution
y = poisson(m,k,c)
output
mean
k is positive integer greater than 0.
It will allow the user to generate a poisson random variate with mean m. In this case the function is independent of k and hence any value of k can be set.
It will allow the user to compute the probability p(k) of obtaining k from a poisson distribution with mean m.
It will allow the user to compute poisson cdf P(k)
It will allow the user to compute poisson cdf Q(k)
This function is used to calculate poisson random variate, probability p(k) of obtaining k from a poisson distribution and cumulative distribution functions P(k), Q(k).
