Given an array data for single photon count, [1,100], how do I input such data into a Poisson distribution function? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution
The aim is to check if the noise emanating from single photon count is indeed Poisson. Thank you!

Georgina’s second Answer moved here:
BTW, what I mean by 'given a Poisson distribution such as that mentioned in Matlab under 'definition' associated to poissfit, I wonder 'how' given the data I described above' is given what is understood as a Poisson distribution - also described in wiki under definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution
Thank you!

My pleasure!
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘bins’, but I assume they are the numbers of photons counted in each 15 minute observation period. So I would create a vector the photon counts in each of your 1000 15-minute observation periods and use that vector as the data argument to (preferably) histfit, specifying the 'poisson' option, since it will also give you a graphical representation of the distribution of your data.
