Description
Generator method for creating a single-column Spark dataframes comprised of i.i.d. samples from a Poisson distribution.
Usage
sdf_rpois(sc, n, lambda, num_partitions = NULL, seed = NULL, output_col = "x") Arguments
| Arguments | Description |
|---|---|
| sc | A Spark connection. |
| n | Sample Size (default: 1000). |
| lambda | Mean, or lambda, of the Poisson distribution. |
| num_partitions | Number of partitions in the resulting Spark dataframe (default: default parallelism of the Spark cluster). |
| seed | Random seed (default: a random long integer). |
| output_col | Name of the output column containing sample values (default: “x”). |
