Compounding (version 1.0.2)

pgfDpoisson: Function pgfDpoisson.

Description

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

Usage

pgfDpoisson(s, params)

Arguments

s

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

params

Positive parameter of the Poisson distribution, such that params<-theta.

Examples

params<-7
pgfDpoisson(.5,params)

## The function is currently defined as

pgfDpoisson <- 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<=0) 
    stop ("Parameter of Poisson distribution must be positive")
    theta*exp(theta*(s-1))
}
