On the Multivariate Poisson Distribution with Specific Covariance Matrix

In this paper, we consider the random number generation method for multivariate Poisson distribution with specific covariance matrix. Random number generating method for the multivariate Poisson distribution is considered into two part, by first solving the linear equation to determine the univariate Poisson parameter, then convoluting independent univariate Poisson variates with appropriate expectations. We propose a numerical algorithm to solve the linear equation given the specific covariance matrix.
