pgfIpoissonpascal: Function pgfIpoissonpascal

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References Examples

Description

This function calculates value of the pgf's inverse of the Poisson-Pascal distribution.

Usage

1
pgfIpoissonpascal(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 Poisson-Pascal distribution, such that params<-c(theta,p,k), where all parameters are positive.

## The function is currently defined as

if (length(params)<3) 
     stop("At least one value in params is missing")
if (length(params)>3) 
     stop("The length of params is 3")
    theta<-params[1]
    p<-params[2]
    k<-params[3]
if (theta<=0)
     stop ("Parameter theta must be positive")
if (p<=0)
     stop ("Parameter lambda must be positive")
if (k<=0)
     stop ("Parameter k must be positive")
    (1+p-(1+log(s)/theta)^(-1/k))/p
