Binomial Approaching Poisson

Description

Binomial Approaching Poisson

Usage

binom2pois(x, lambda, size = c(10L, 100L))

Arguments

x	integer scalar, observed number of responses
lambda	positive numeric scalar, parameter \lambda of Poisson distribution
size	integer vector, parameter n of binomial distribution

Details

binom2pois() shows how binomial density approaches Poisson density when n\rightarrow\infty and p\rightarrow 0, while holding a constant product np=\lambda.

Value

binom2pois() returns a 'binom2pois' object, for which a print method, an autolayer and an autoplot method are defined.

Examples

binom2pois(x = 4L, lambda = 6, size = seq.int(10L, 50L, by = 10L))
