Hi,

I need to generate a sequence of poisson distributed numbers between
two bounds LB and UB.
How can I do this ? I have a poisson number generator.

TIA,
Darth

I can post the code for a Poisson random number generator here.
But first I have a concern. Poisson numbers are bounded on the low
side by zero (including zero) but are not bounded on the high side.
So I'm puzzled by your need for LB and UB.

But the OP already has a Poisson number generator. Could it be this is
just a troll? ;-)

Come on, Bruce. After I fought the battle of Afonso and Reef Fish?
A troll? Hardly. I just failed to notice he said he has a Poisson rn
generator. Eyesight failing? Nope. Just trying to do several things
at once. That's my bad habit. But a troll?



Sorry, I should have expressed myself more clearly. I meant that the OP
might be trolling, not you! ;-)
