Hi,
I am using poisson distribution
(boost/random/poisson_distribution.hpp), and have encountered a
problem when using a large mean.
Let's say I'm setting up my poisson distribution with mean = MEAN, and
repicking a sequence of 1000 random numbers. If I average out these
1000 numbers, I would expect to get MEAN (or very close to it).
This works OK for mean < 745. Afterwards, no matter how large I set
the mean, the same sequence of numbers is generated, with average of 745.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Ksenia
