pgflogarithmicbinomial: Function pgflogarithmicbinomial

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References Examples

Description

This function calculates value of the pgf of the logarithmic-binomial distribution.

Usage

1

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 logarithmic binomial distribution, such that params<-c(p1,p2,m,n), where p1, p2 are probabilities, and m, n are positive integers.
