pgfIhyperpoisson: Function pgfIhyperpoisson

Description

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

Usage

pgfIhyperpoisson(s, params)

Arguments

s

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

params

List of the parameters of the hyperpoisson distribution, such that params<-c(theta,lambda), where both parameters are positive.

##The function is currently defined as

pgfIhyperpoisson <- function(s,params) {
    xval<-length(s)
    for (i in 1:length(s)) {
        func<-function(x) pgfhyperpoisson(x,params)-s[i]
        xval[i]<-uniroot(func,lower=0,upper=1)$root
    }
