public class Poisson
extends AbstractDiscreteDistribution
```
Poisson distribution (quick); See the math definition and animated definition.
p(k) = (mean^k / k!) * exp(-mean) for k >= 0.
Valid parameter ranges: mean > 0. Note: if mean <= 0.0 then always returns zero.
Instance methods operate on a user supplied uniform random number generator; they are unsynchronized.
Static methods operate on a default uniform random number generator; they are synchronized.
Implementation: High performance implementation. Patchwork Rejection/Inversion method.
This is a port of pprsc.c from the C-RAND / WIN-RAND library. C-RAND's implementation, in turn, is based upon
H. Zechner (1994): Efficient sampling from continuous and discrete unimodal distributions, Doctoral Dissertation, 156 pp., Technical University Graz, Austria.
