A method for generating random discrete intervals with a pseudo-Poisson distribution, is described . The resulting process has the saure first and second order statistics as the continuous one before quantization. This is accomplished by using a roundoff coefficient E and changing the mean value X of the original process. The method is valid for values of X T < 2, where T is the quantization interval . The experimental purpose of this method is the simulation of the instants of occurrence of muscle artifacts in an EEG ....
