Beschreibung:
Simulation from distributions is an important aspect of study in case of statistical software. In this study a comparison is made between the two software viz, Excel and R, using their ability to simulation from Poisson distribution. The accuracy of estimates of the parameter of the said distribution was measured through mean sum of squares (MSE). The study suggests that Excel in some of the ways is better than R, at least in cases of simulation from Poisson distribution
