module Distribution
  # From Wikipedia
  #  In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution is 
  #  a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of 
  #  a number of events occurring in a fixed period of time if these 
  #  events occur with a known average rate and independently of the time 
  #  since the last event.

    # :singleton-method: pdf(k , l)
    # PDF for Poisson distribution, 
    # [+k+] is the number of occurrences of an event 
    # [+l+] is a positive real number, equal to the expected number of occurrences that occur during the given interval.
