pdtr

Poisson distribution.

SYNOPSIS:

int k;
double m, y, pdtr();
y = pdtr(k, m);

DESCRIPTION:

Returns the sum of the first k terms of the Poisson distribution:

   k         j
   --   -m  m
   >   e    --
   --       j!
  j=0

The terms are not summed directly; instead the incomplete gamma integral is employed, according to the relation:

y = pdtr(k, m) = igamc(k+1, m).

The arguments must both be positive.

ACCURACY:
See the igamc() Help topic.
