pgfIgeometric: Function pgfIgeometric

Description

This function calculates value of the pgf's inverse of the geometric distribution.

Usage

pgfIgeometric(s, params)

Arguments

s
Value of the parameter of the pgf. It should be from interval [-1,1]. In the opposite pgf diverges.
params
Parameter of the geometric distribution, such that params<-theta, where theta is probability.

Examples

Run this code
params<-.1
pgfIgeometric(.5,params)

## The function is currently defined as

pgfIgeometric <- 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 of geometric distribution must belong  to the interval (0,1)")
    (s-theta)/((1-theta)*s)
}
