MultPoisson: Multiplicative Poisson Distribution

Description

These functions provide information about the multiplicative Poisson distribution with parameters m and s: density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, and random generation.

The multiplicative Poisson distribution with mu \(= m\) has density $$p(y) = c({\mu}, {\lambda})\exp({-\mu}) {\mu}^{y} {\lambda}^({y}^2) / {y!}% $$ with \(s <= 1\) for \(y = 0, \ldots\), where c(.) is a normalizing constant.

Note that it only allows for underdispersion, not being defined for \(s > 1\).

Usage

dmultpois(y, m, s, log=FALSE)
pmultpois(q, m, s)
qmultpois(p, m, s)
rmultpois(n, m, s)

Arguments

y

vector of counts

q

vector of quantiles

p

vector of probabilities

n

number of values to generate

m

scalar or vector of means

s

scalar or vector of overdispersion parameters, all of which must lie in (0,1).

log

if TRUE, log probabilities are supplied.
