/**
* Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Poisson distribution with mean parameter `lambda` at a value `x`.
*
* @param {number} x - input value
* @param {NonNegativeNumber} lambda - mean parameter
* @returns {Probability} evaluated CDF
*
* @example
* var y = cdf( 2.0, 0.5 );
* // returns ~0.986
*
* @example
* var y = cdf( 2.0, 10.0 );
* // returns ~0.003
*
* @example
* var y = cdf( -1.0, 4.0 );
* // returns 0.0
*
* @example
* var y = cdf( NaN, 1.0 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var y = cdf( 0.0, NaN );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* // Negative mean parameter:
* var y = cdf( 2.0, -1.0 );
* // returns NaN
