## PDF

 doublePDF( int n double lambda )
Calculates the Poisson distribution probability density for a number of events, n, with an expected mean value of .


where 

## Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <codecogs/statistics/distributions/discrete/poisson/pdf.h>
using namespace Stats::Dists::Discrete::Poisson;

int main()
{
std::cout << "\nPoisson distribution probability density of 2 events and 5  mean value is : \n";
std::cout << "PDF(2,5) = " << PDF(2,5);
return 0;
}

## Output:

Poisson distribution probability density of 2 events and 5  mean value is :
PDF(2,5) = 0.0842243

### Parameters

 n the number of events (or sample size) lambda the expected mean value, which must be greater than zero.

### Returns

the Poisson distribution probability density. Returns -1 on an error.
