rusty-skellam

Trivial Rust implementation of the PMF for the Skellam Distribution.

Its precision is limited by the underlying scilib Bessel function.

Usage

/// Calculate the probability mass function (PMF) of a Skellam distribution.
///
/// The Skellam distribution is the probability distribution of the difference
/// of two independent Poisson random variables.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `k` - The difference of two Poisson random variables.
/// * `mu1` - The expected value of the first Poisson distribution.
/// * `mu2` - The expected value of the second Poisson distribution.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// * A `f64` representing the PMF of the Skellam distribution at `k`.
///
pub fn skellam_pmf(k: i32, mu1: f64, mu2: f64) -> f64 

Example

let k: i32 = 2;
let mu1: f64 = 1.0;
let mu2: f64 = 1.0;
