RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION(Number, RandomNumber, Distribution,  NewTableFlag, Lambda)

where,

Number - represents the number of variables.

RandomNumber - represents the number of random number

Distribution - represents the distribution method(i.e poisson) to create random values.

NewTableFlag - is the TRUE or FALSE.If set as TRUE,the result in new sheet. If NewTableFlag is omitted, it assumed to be FALSE.

Lambda - represents the probability value and should be in range 0 to 1.


A poisson distribution is a distribution  of random occurrences in which one occurrence has no influence on any other occurrence.

Lets see an example in (Column1Row1)

=RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION(3, 4, "Poisson", TRUE, 0.8)

RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION returns the result in new sheet(13Space).

=RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION(5, 4, "Poisson", TRUE, 0.3, -1)

RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION returns the #ERROR(Lambda < 0).


RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION : POISSON


Syntax

Remarks

Examples

Description

If Number < 0 or RandomNumber < 0, RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION returns the #ERROR.

RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION returns the #ERROR, if Lambda < 0.
