Enq: Grassberger's expectation of n^q

Description

Expected value of \(n^q\) when \(n\) follows a Poisson law.

Usage

Enq(n, q)

Arguments

n

A positive integer vector.

q

A positive number.

Value

A vector of the same length as x containing the transformed values.

Details

The expectation of \(n^q\) when \(n\) follows a Poisson ditribution has been derived by Grassberger (1988).
