pyarts3.arts.random.poisson_distribution

random.poisson_distribution(N: int = 1, mean: float = 1.0) → pyarts3.arts.IndexVector

Generate random numbers following a Poisson distribution

Wraps std::poisson_distribution from the C++ standard library.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.title("A plotting example")
plt.xlabel("Value")
plt.ylabel("Density")
plt.yscale("log")
