; NAME:
; DTPOIDEV
; PURPOSE:
; Return an integer random deviate drawn from a dead-time-distorted
; Poisson distribution with a specified mean. Adapted from POIDEV
; procedure in "Numerical Recipes" by Press et al. (1986), Section 7.3
; and IDL Astronomy User's library routine of the same name by
; Wayne Landsman.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
; result = DTPOIDEV( Xm, Npts, Tinterval, Deadtime, [ SEED = ] )
;
; INPUTS:
; Xm: Mean of the ORIGINAL (undistorted) Poisson distribution.
;
; Npts: Number of deviates to generate.
;
; Tinterval:The length of the measuring time bin.
;
; Deadtime: The length of the NON-EXTENDED dead time in the SAME units
; as Tinterval.
;
; OUTPUT:
; An array of deviates, [LONARR(Npts)].
;
; OPTIONAL KEYWORD INPUT-OUTPUT:
; SEED - Scalar to be used as the seed for the random distribution.
; For best results, SEED should be a large (>100) integer.
; If SEED is undefined, then its value is taken from the system
; clock (see RANDOMU). The value of SEED is always updated
; upon output. This keyword can be used to have POIDEV give
; identical results on consecutive runs.
;
; EXAMPLE:
; (1) Add dead-time-distorted Poisson noise to an integral image array, im
; IDL> imnoise = POIDEV( im, 100, tbin, tau)
;
; (2) Verify the expected mean and sigma for an input value of 81
; IDL> p = POIDEV( 81, 10000,1,1e-3) ;Test for 10,000 points
; IDL> print,avg(p),sigma(p)
; Average and sigma of the 10000 points should be close to
; 81/(1+81*1e-3)=75 and (1+81*1e-3)^(-3/2)*9=8.
;
; RESTRICTIONS:
; Negative values in the input array will be returned as zeros.
; Note: there are very subtle correlations between sequential time bins
; in the presence of dead time. The time interval between the beginning
; of a bin and the first count is correlated to the interval between
; the last count of the previous bin. This correlation occurs when
; the time interval between the last count of the previous bin and the
; end of the time bin is less than the dead time.
;
; PROCEDURE:
; For small values (observed counts < 20) independent exponential
; deviates offset by a dead time are generated until their sum exceeds
; the specfied mean, the number of events required is returned as the
; Poisson deviate. For large (observed counts > 20) values, uniform
; random variates are compared with a Lorentzian distribution function.
;
; REVISION HISTORY:
; Adapted from Landsman, POIDEV: Han Wen, July 1996.
; 26-JUL-1996 Bugfix: Lorentzian distribution function falls below
; d-t-d Poisson distribution at low observed counts and
; low means. Reapplied technique of independent exponential
; deviates (with a dead time offset) for cases when the
; observed counts falls below 20.
