I'm trying to determine the granularity I can accurately schedule tasks to occur in C/C++. At the moment I can reliably schedule tasks to occur every 5 microseconds, but I'm trying to see if I can ...

Imagine that I have a set of measurements of x that are taken by many processes x0 ... xN at times t0 ... tN. Let's assume that at time t I want to make an estimate of the current value of x, based...

I am trying to fit some models (Spatial interaction models) according to some code which is provided in R. I have been able to get some of the code to work using statsmodels in a python framework b...

I'm aware of Knuth's algorithm for generating random Poisson distributed numbers (below in Java) but how do I translate that into calling a method, generateEvent(), randomly over time? int poisson...

My problem is to extract in the most efficient way N Poisson random values (RV) each with a different mean/rate Lam. Basically the size(RV) == size(Lam). Here it is a naive (very slow) implementa...

I have a problem where I want to generate a set of random integer values between 1 and 5 inclusive using a probability distribution. Poisson and Inverse Gamma are two distributions that show the ...

I was tasked with developing a regression model looking at student enrollment in different programs. This is a very nice, clean data set where the enrollment counts follow a Poisson distribution we...

I need to simulate Poisson wait times. I've found many examples of simulating the number of arrivals, but I need to simulate the wait time for one arrival, given an average wait time. I keep findi...

I'm working with the random number generator available within C++11. At the moment, I'm using a uniform distribution, which should give me an equal probability to get any number within the range A ...

I am writing some code in C to be called dynamically from R. This code generates a path of a random Poisson process up to a desired time T. So at every call to my C function, the length of the ret...

I implemented this function to generate a poisson random variable typedef long unsigned int luint; luint poisson(luint lambda) { double L = exp(-double(lambda)); luint k = 0; double p = 1; do ...

Is there any way to randomly generate a set of positive numbers such that they have a desired mean and standard deviation? I have an algorithm to generate numbers with a gaussian distribution, bu...

Original Question: I want to generate a Poisson process. If the number of arrivals by time t is N(t) and I have a Poisson distribution with parameter λ how do I generate N(t)? How would I do this i...

From what I understand, the standard generator is for the Normal Distribution. I have to generate random numbers according to the Normal, Uniform and Poisson Distributions, but I can't seem to find...

When you use the POISSON function in Excel (or in OpenOffice Calc), it takes two arguments: an integer an 'average' number and returns a float. In Python (I tried RandomArray and NumPy) it ret...
