[R] Estimating Mean of a Poisson Distribution Based on Interval censoring

[peter dalgaard]

Fortune candidate :-)

However, the more scientific approach would be to ask for evidence to be scrutinized, acknowledging that R might be fallible, however unlikely that may seem.

Also, there is always the possibility that there are two answers because the question is not the same.
