Compounding (version 1.0.2)

pgfDlogarithmic: Function pgfDlogarithmic.

Description

This function calculates value of the pgf's first derivative of the logarithmic distribution.

Usage

pgfDlogarithmic(s, params)

Arguments

s

Value of the parameter of the pgf. It should be from interval [-1,1\]. In the opposite pgf diverges.

params

Represents paramemeter of logarithmic distribution, such that params<-theta, where theta is the probability.

Examples

params<-.7
pgfDlogarithmic(.5,params)

## The function is currently defined as

pgfDlogarithmic <- function(s,params) {
k<-s[abs(s)>1]
if (length(k)>0)
     warning("At least one element of the vector s are out of interval [-1,1]")
if (length(params)>1) 
     stop("The length of params is 1")
     theta<-params[1]
if ((theta>=1)|(theta<=0))
     stop ("Parameter theta belongs to the interval (0,1)")
    -(1-theta)/((1-(1-theta)*s)*log(theta))
}
