pgfgeometric: Function pgfgeometric

Description

This function calculates value of the pgf of the geometric distribution.

Usage

pgfgeometric(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

params<-0.4
pgfgeometric(.2,params)

## The function is currently defined as

pgfgeometric <- 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)")
    theta/(1-(1-theta)*s)
}
