The “rpois” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Generates random numbers from a Poisson distribution.

• General Class: Random Number Generation

• Required Argument(s):

• n: The number of random values to generate.

• lambda: The rate or mean of the Poisson distribution. The default is 1.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None.

• Example:

• # Generate 100 random values from a Poisson distribution with mean 3
  random_values <- rpois(n = 100, lambda = 3)
  print(random_values)

• In this example, the rpois function is used to generate 100 random values from a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3. The generated values are then printed to the console.
