Compute the Value of Poisson Density in R Programming – dpois() Function

dpois() function in R Language is used to compute the Poisson Density for a set of Integer values. It also creates a density plot of poisson distribution. 

Syntax: dpois(vec, lambda)
Parameters:
vec: Sequence of integer values 
lambda: Average number of events per interval 

Example 1:

Python3

# R program to compute
# Poisson Density

# Sequence of x-values
x <- seq(-10, 10, by = 1)

# Calling dpois() Function
y <- dpois(x, lambda = 5)
y

Output:

 [1] 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000

[19] 0.065278039 0.036265577 0.018132789

Example 2:

Python3

# R program to compute
# Poisson Density

# Sequence of x-values
x <- seq(-10, 20, by = 1)

# Calling dpois() Function
y <- dpois(x, lambda = 15)

# Plot a graph
plot(y)
