• Another case where comes from the following steps:

1. Generate having a Poisson distribution with parameter (also mean, for a Poisson)

2. Generate having a chi-squared distribution with 2P + 2 degrees of freedom.

3. Set

• If then has a noncentral chi-squared distribution with two degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter .
• If then, and has an exponential distribution.
