pgfneymantypec: Function pgfneymantypec

Description

This function calculates value of the pgf of the Neyman type C distribution.

Usage

pgfneymantypec(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 Neyman type C distribution, such that params<-c(theta,lambda), where both parameters are positive numbers

##The function is currently defined as

pgfneymantypec <- function(s,params) {

if (length(params)<2) 
       stop("At least one value in params is missing")
if (length(params)>2) 
       stop("The length of params is 2")
    theta<-params[1]
    lambda<-params[2]
if (theta<=0)
       stop ("Parameter theta must be positive")
if (lambda<=0)
       stop ("Parameter lambda must be positive")
    exp(lambda*(genhypergeo(1,3,theta*(s-1))-1))
