Yules: Yule-Simon Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Yule-Simon distribution.

Usage

dyules(x, shape, log = FALSE)
pyules(q, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qyules(p, shape)
ryules(n, shape)

Value

dyules gives the density,

pyules gives the distribution function,

qyules gives the quantile function, and

ryules generates random deviates.

Arguments

x, q, p, n

Same meaning as in Normal.

shape

See yulesimon.

log, lower.tail, log.p

Same meaning as in pnorm or qnorm.

Run this code
dyules(1:20, 2.1)
ryules(20, 2.1)

round(1000 * dyules(1:8, 2))
table(ryules(1000, 2))

if (FALSE)  x <- 0:6
plot(x, dyules(x, shape = 2.2), type = "h", las = 1, col = "blue")
