Hi! I am sitting with a school assignment, but I got stuck on this one. I am suppose to test if my data is Poisson-distributed. The data I?m using is the studie "Bids", found in the Ecdat-package, and the variable of interest is the dependent "numbids". How do I practically perform a test for this?

How to test for Poisson?
2 messages · RToss, Brad Patrick Schneid
A simple way to determine if it is NOT is to see if the mean (the single parameter of a poisson: lambda) and variance are the same. This really has nothing to do with R (other than the data source), and since it is homework, you will likely get no further help here. Good luck. RToss wrote
