# scipy.special.pdtri

scipy.special.pdtri(k, y, out=None) = <ufunc 'pdtri'>

  Inverse to `pdtr` vs m

  Returns the Poisson variable m such that the sum from 0 to k of the Poisson density is equal to the given probability y: calculated by `gammaincinv(k + 1, y)`. k must be a nonnegative integer and y between 0 and 1.

  Parameters:
    k array_like

      Number of occurrences (nonnegative, real)

    y array_like

      Probability

    out ndarray, optional

      Optional output array for the function results

  Returns:
    scalar or ndarray

      Values of the shape parameter m such that `pdtr(k, m) = p`
