poisson_quantile_step

std.stats.poisson_quantile_step · Level L5

One bisection step for the Poisson quantile, on every element at once: where the bracket [lo, hi] is still open, mid = ⌊(lo + hi)/2⌋ moves lo up to mid + 1 if F(mid) < p, else hi down to mid. F(mid) is Q(mid + 1, λ) below p = ½ and 1 − P(mid + 1, λ) above it. The body that poisson_quantile runs.

mid = ⌊(lo + hi)/2⌋; F(mid) < p ? [mid + 1, hi] : [lo, mid] where lo < hi

Signature

poisson_quantile_step(lohi: i64[2, n], p: f64[n], lam: f64[]) → i64[2, n]

Structure

The function as NOVA stores it: one box per input, operation and output, and arrows that carry values. A double border marks another library function this one runs — called once, or by Scan once per element; select it to open that function.

Verification

  • Signature proven by NOVA’s shape solver, for every size.
  • Agrees with the reference mid = (lo + hi) // 2; [mid + 1, hi] if exp(-λ)·Σ_{j≤mid} λʲ/j! < p else [lo, mid] to 80 digits (100-digit arithmetic), on all 40 test cases.
  • All 274 int64 results are exact: the error is zero.
  • Interpreter and NumPy backend return bit-identical results.

The semantic hash of the graph. It changes when the program changes, and never when only its documentation does.

Needs
no capability: a pure function

Through NOVA’s control layer, the symbol launches this function only while the program still matches what it pins: a change to this graph, or to any graph it reaches, needs a migration first.
