Re: [math] Poisson distribution to show how many ambulances are dispatched per hour

2015-08-31 Thread Ole Ersoy 

Hi David,

public static void main(String[] args)
{
int numberOfAmbulances = 20;
PoissonDistribution ambulanceDistribution = new PoissonDistribution(9);

for (int dispatched = 0; dispatched <= numberOfAmbulances; 
dispatched++) {
System.out.println("Likelihood of " + dispatched + " ambulances dispatched is 
" + ambulanceDistribution.probability(dispatched) + "\n");
}
}

Cheers,

Hi:
I am working on a relatively simple project. I am attempting to generate a 
Poisson distribution for the number of ambulances that are dispatched. I have 
looked at my database and determined the average number of ambulances 
dispatched is 9
How do I get a Poisson distribution to be generated using the Commons Math?

The output I am expecting to generate looks like this

Likelihood of 1 ambulance dispatched is 0.005
Likelihood of 2 ambulances dispatched is 0.015
Likelihood of 3 ambulances dispatched is 0.034
Likelihood of 4 ambulances dispatched is 0.61
Likelihood of 5 ambulances dispatched is 0.091
Likelihood of 6 ambulances dispatched is 0.117
Etc.

This is probably a very simple programming question for many of you. But for me 
as a novice it is not easy.

So far, here is what I have using Commons Math;

import org.apache.commons.math3.distribution.PoissonDistribution;

public class poissonDistribution
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
   PoissonDistribution ambulanceDistribution = new 
PoissonDistribution(9);
   System.out.println(ambulanceDistribution);
}
}

The console output is; 
"org.apache.commons.math3.distribution.PoissonDistribution@27716f4"

I did try and take matters into my own hands and write the equation out (shown 
below). But I have a very strong preference to use a method provided by Commons 
Math. I am much more confident in Commons Math than my own abilities.

The following is my code. It works in a fashion, but I am not confident in it. 
Shown below is what I am currently using - but prefer to avoid using this;
import java.lang.Math;
public class PoissonExperiment1
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
   // c is the average number of calls per hour. This is a variable 
that is
   // derived from your database.
   double c = 9.0;
   // k is the number of expected calls we want to determine the 
probability
   int k = 1;
   while (k <= 20)
   {
  int factorialResult = 1;
  for (int i = 1; i <= k; i++)
  {
factorialResult = factorialResult * i;
  }
  double term1 = (Math.pow(Math.E, -c));
  double term2 = Math.pow(c, k);
  double numerator = term1 * term2;
  double answer = numerator / factorialResult;
  System.out.format("%10.3f:%n ", answer);
  k++;
   }
}
}


Thank you for your consideration and time,
David

Re: [math] Poisson distribution to show how many ambulances are dispatched per hour

2015-08-31 Thread Ted Dunning 
David,

The Poisson distribution tells you things like the probability of different
numbers of ambulances being dispatched.

For simulation purposes, it is usually far preferable to use the
exponential distribution to compute the time of the next ambulance.  In R,
computing 100 dispatch times would look like this:

 t = cumsum(rexp(100, rate=9))

You can copy code from log-synth to do this as well:

https://github.com/tdunning/log-synth/blob/master/src/main/java/com/mapr/synth/samplers/ArrivalSampler.java

The next thing that you will need to worry about is how to handle variable
rates.  One good way to do this is to generate departures in a fictitious
time and then do time warping to get the variable rates. The idea is that
fictitious time would pass at a faster rate during the day than at night.
