written by Francisco Esquembre

The Poisson Distribution Model shows how to use the Apache Commons Math library (included in EJS) to generate random numbers that follow the Poisson distribution. A histogram of the numbers is displayed. This simple teaching example illustrates the use of the Histogram view element and how to speed up a simulation by running the model several time before updating the view.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.6 of Java (JRE).
