Sampling a value from a Poisson distribution in HBL #564

Hi,

Is there are a way to sample a value from a Poisson distribution with some parameter gamma in HBL?

Thanks! Keren

Dear Keren,

Yes, you can draw from a Poisson distribution in HyPhy. 

LoadFunctionLibrary("Utility/ProbabilityDistributions.bf");
fprintf(stdout, sampleFromPoisson(4));

Best, Steven
