scipy.special.pdtrc#
- scipy.special.pdtrc(k, m, out=None) = <ufunc 'pdtrc'>#
Poisson survival function
Returns the sum of the terms from k+1 to infinity of the Poisson distribution: sum(exp(-m) * m**j / j!, j=k+1..inf) = gammainc( k+1, m). Arguments must both be non-negative doubles.
- Parameters:
- karray_like
Number of occurrences (nonnegative, real)
- marray_like
Shape parameter (nonnegative, real)
- outndarray, optional
Optional output array for the function results
- Returns:
- scalar or ndarray
Values of the Poisson survival function

Notes
pdtrc
has experimental support for Python Array API Standard compatible backends in addition to NumPy. Please consider testing these features by setting an environment variableSCIPY_ARRAY_API=1
and providing CuPy, PyTorch, JAX, or Dask arrays as array arguments. The following combinations of backend and device (or other capability) are supported.Library

Examples
>>> import numpy as np >>> import scipy.special as sc
It is a survival function, so it decreases to 0 monotonically as k goes to infinity.
>>> k = np.array([1, 10, 100, np.inf]) >>> sc.pdtrc(k, 1) array([2.64241118e-001, 1.00477664e-008, 3.94147589e-161, 0.00000000e+000])
It can be expressed in terms of the lower incomplete gamma function
gammainc
.>>> sc.gammainc(k + 1, 1) array([2.64241118e-001, 1.00477664e-008, 3.94147589e-161, 0.00000000e+000])
