PHP | stats_dens_pmf_poisson() Function

Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP stats_dens_pmf_poisson() Function.

The built-in PHP stats_dens_pmf_poisson() function is a Probability Mass Function of the poisson distribution.

Syntax

Following below is the syntax to use this function -

float stats_dens_pmf_poisson( float $x,  float $lb )

Parameter Details

Sr.No	Parameter	Description
1	x	The value at which the probability mass is calculated.
2	lb	The parameter of the poisson distribution

Return Value

This function returns the probability mass at x, where the random variable follows the Poisson distribution whose parameter is lb or false on failure.

Dependencies

This built-in function was first introduced in statistics extension (PHP version 4.0.0 and PEAR v1.4.0). In this tutorial guide, we used the latest release of stats-2.0.3 (PHP v7.0.0 or newer and PEAR version 1.4.0 or newer).

Example1

The following example below computes the probability mass at each x -

<?php
   // check for each x
   foreach (range(0, 5) as $x) {
      var_dump(round(stats_dens_pmf_poisson($x, 1), 6));
      echo "<br>";
   }
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -

float(0.367879)
float(0.367879)
float(0.18394)
float(0.061313)
float(0.015328)
float(0.003066)

Example2

The following example below computes the probability mass for each lb -

<?php
   // check for each lb
   foreach (range(0.5, 3, 0.5) as $lb) {
      var_dump(round(stats_dens_pmf_poisson(1, $lb), 6));
      echo "<br>";
   }
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -

float(0.303265)
float(0.367879)
float(0.334695)
float(0.270671)
float(0.205212)
float(0.149361)
