[jira] Created: (MATH-295) RandomDataImpl.nextPoisson fails for means in range 6.0 - 19.99

RandomDataImpl.nextPoisson fails for means in range 6.0 - 19.99
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MATH-295
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-295
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0, 1.2
         Environment: Java 1.6 on Mac 0S X
            Reporter: Jason McFall


RandomDataImpl.nextPoission(double mean) fails frequently (but not every time) from calls with mean >= 6.0 and < 20.0
Below 6.0 and above 20 it seems fine, as far as I can tell by testing values at random.

When it fails, the exception is as follows  - this from calling nextPoisson(6.0)

org.apache.commons.math.MathRuntimeException$4: must have n >= 0 for n!, got n = -2
	at org.apache.commons.math.MathRuntimeException.createIllegalArgumentException(MathRuntimeException.java:282)
	at org.apache.commons.math.util.MathUtils.factorialLog(MathUtils.java:561)
	at org.apache.commons.math.random.RandomDataImpl.nextPoisson(RandomDataImpl.java:434)

ie it's calling MathUtils.factorialLog with a negative argument.

    Resolution: Fixed

Sorry, duplicate of Math 294 (got a 'server down for maintenance' error message when raising 294 but obviously it did get stored)
