public class COptQuestPoissonRandomVariable extends COptQuestUserControlledVariable
A random variable with a Poisson distribution: the number of events in a fixed interval, when the events occur at random at an average rate of lambda for each interval. lambda must be greater than 0. The value is a whole number, and its mean and its variance are both lambda.

The engine draws a new value at the start of every replication. The probability distribution is COptQuestPoissonDistribution.
