CDF Inv

Returns the Poisson variable x such that the integral from 0 to x of the Poisson density is equal to the given probability y.

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <codecogs/stats/dists/discrete/poisson/cdf_inv.h>
#include <codecogs/stats/dists/discrete/poisson/cdf.h>
using namespace Stats::Dists::Discrete::Poisson;
int main()
{
  printf( "    x              CDF              INV \n" );
  for( double x=0.5; x<16; x+=1.5 )
  {
    double y = CDF( 5, x );
    double z = CDF_inv( 5, y );
    printf( "%f \t %f \t %f \n", x, y, z );
  }
  return getchar();
}

Output:

15.500000        0.001970        15.500000

Note

if (k < 0) or (y < 0) or (y >= 1) this function writes to the error stream and returns value -1

Parameters

k	the number of terms to sum, must not be negative
y	the probability, must be in range 0..1 (but not equal to 1)

Returns

the Poisson variable x
