Hi, Essentially I'm looking for the equivalent of what was in numarray: from numarray import random_array random_array.poisson(arr)
That is: if for example arr is a 256x256 array of positive integers, then this returns a new array of random numbers than are drawn according to the poisson statistics where arr's value at coordinate y,x determines the mean of the poisson distribution used to generate a new value for y,x. [[This is needed e.g. to simulate quantum noise in CCD images. Each pixel has different amount of noise depending of what it's (noise-free) "input" value was.]] Thanks, Sebastian Haase ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
