Your first check might be to see in the mean and sd are "reasonably" close. Next approach would be to see if the `qqplot` of that vector has an arguably straight-line relationship with a random draw from a Poisson random generator function with the same mean.

?rpois

?qqplot

And do remember that Rhelp is a plain-text mailing list.

Dear friends,

I have a sample dataset, which is basically the number of transits through
a particular waterway, and is on a daily basis.

MyDat <- dataset$DailyTransits

What I´d like to do is to test whether MyDat follows a poisson distribution
or not. What R function could accomplish this?

Any help and/or guidance will be greatly appreciated,

Best regards,

Paul
