Exercise

Sample from Poisson distribution

We have been provided with the average yearly number of assaults, robberies and batteries in a small city (150, 300 and 50, respectively). Given that the three types of crimes can be modeled as a multivariate Poisson distribution, you are told to create 10 different scenarios for the number of crimes in the next year.

Instructions

Using the function rpois, create 10 observations for each type of crimes using their corresponding lambda.
Combine the simulated number of crimes into a multivariate Poisson distribution.
Check the values of your simulated scenarios.
