I don't recognise that node. Did you install this from the palette? If you look at the entry for this node in the flows library, there should be a link to the repository where you can ask the author for this additional feature.

I never used it, but did you try this node:

> **[node-red-contrib-statistics](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-statistics)**
>
> A node-red node to perform simple statistical operations on a flow.

@Steve-Mcl, the node in question is [node-red-contrib-random-event-generator](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-random-event-generator).

@Salarj, please see my comment on the [issue](https://github.com/drmibell/node-red-contrib-random-event-generator/issues/5) you raised on GitHub. If you want to continue this discussion, please do so either here or on GitHub, not in both places.

@mickym2, it is my impression that the node you mentioned provides values of the Poisson distribution, not events.
