TruncPoisson: Truncated Poisson distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the truncated Poisson distribution.

Usage

dtpois(x, lambda, s = 0, log = FALSE)
ptpois(q, lambda, s = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qtpois(p, lambda, s = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rtpois(n, lambda, s = 0)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

lambda

vector of (non-negative) means.

s

truncation point (non-negtive); s=0 (default) for zero-truncated Poisson, otherwise values greater than s are truncated.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are $P[X \le x]$ otherwise, $P[X > x]$.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

xx <- seq(-1, 20)
plot(prop.table(table(x)))
