probability density function for the Poisson lognormal distribution

Description

Probability density function for the Poisson lognormal distribution, along with methods for drawing random samples from that distribution and fitting experimental data to that distribution.

Examples

# visualize the density function
plot(dpoilog(0:100, mu=1.0, sig=1.0), type='o')

# visualize the empirical distribution of a random sample of 1000 OTUs
hist(rpoilog(1000, mu=1.0, sig=1.0, condS=TRUE))
