• poissrnd(λ) returns a random number following Poisson distribution with mean λ
• poissrnd(λ, n, m) returns a n x m matrix with random number following Poisson distribution with mean λ
• poissrnd(λ, n) is equivalent to poissrnd(λ, n, n)

Examples

> poissrnd(10)#

           11

> poissrnd(10,2,3)#

           17           12           10
           10           13            5
