About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

> [Poisson][poisson-distribution] distribution [mode][mode].

The [mode][mode] for a [Poisson][poisson-distribution] random variable is

where λ is the mean parameter.

Installation

``bash npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-poisson-mode`

`Usage`

`javascript var mode = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-poisson-mode' );`

#### mode( lambda )

Returns the [mode][mode] of a [Poisson][poisson-distribution] distribution with mean parameter lambda.

`javascript var v = mode( 9.0 ); // returns 9

v = mode( 0.5 ); // returns 0`

If provided lambda < 0, the function returns NaN.

`javascript var v = mode( -1.0 ); // returns NaN`

`Examples`

`javascript var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-uniform' ); var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' ); var mode = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-poisson-mode' );

var opts = { 'dtype': 'float64' }; var lambda = uniform( 10, 0.0, 20.0, opts );

logEachMap( 'λ: %0.4f, mode(X;λ): %0.4f', lambda, mode );`

*

`C APIs`

`$3`

`c #include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/poisson/mode.h"`

#### stdlib_base_dists_poisson_mode( lambda )

Returns the mode of a Poisson distribution.

`c double out = sstdlib_base_dists_poisson_mode( 9.0 ); // returns 9`

The function accepts the following arguments:

- lambda: [in] double mean parameter.

`c double stdlib_base_dists_poisson_mode( const double lambda );`

`$3`

`c #include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/poisson/mode.h" #include #include

static double random_uniform( const double min, const double max ) { double v = (double)rand() / ( (double)RAND_MAX + 1.0 ); return min + ( v*(max-min) ); }

int main( void ) { double lambda; double y; int i;

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) { lambda = random_uniform( 0.0, 10.0 ); y = stdlib_base_dists_poisson_mode( lambda ); printf( "λ: %.4f, Mode(X;λ): %.4f\n", lambda, y ); } }`

`Notice`

This package is part of [stdlib][stdlib], a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
