[R] Question about citing R packages in an academic paper

That is logically impossible. You can only show that there is insufficient evidence (according to whatever evidentiary criterion you have chosen) to show that the data were *not* a (iid or other) sample from a Poisson. This may seem esoteric, but it is not. (The simplest incantation is that you ca

Your first check might be to see in the mean and sd are "reasonably" close. Next approach would be to see if the `qqplot` of that vector has an arguably straight-line relationship with a random draw from a Poisson random generator function with the same mean. ?rpois ?qqplot And do remember t
