pgfhypergeometric: Function pgfhypergeometric

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References Examples

Description

This function calculates value of the pgf of the hypergeometric distribution.

Usage

1
pgfhypergeometric(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 hypergeometric distribution, such that params<-c(m,n,p) where m is the number of white balls in the urn, n is the number of black balls in the urn, must be less or equal than m, and p is probability.
