#'@title Generates Poisson Anticipated Coefficients

#'@description Generates Poisson Anticipated Coefficients
#'Solves the Poisson link function
#'mean = exp(beta0 + beta1 * x)
#'such that mean = mean_low when x = -1, and mean = mean_high when x = +1.
#'Equivalently, solves this set of equations for beta0 and beta1:
#'mean_low = exp(beta0 - beta1)
#'mean_high = exp(beta0 + beta1)
#'@param anticoef input anticipated coefficients of the proper length for your model matrix
#'@param mean_low The low value of the mean value
#'@param mean_high The high value of the mean value
#'@return Anticipated coefficients.
