pgflogarithmicpoisson: Function pgflogarithmicpoisson

In Compounding: Computing Continuous Distributions

Description

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

Usage

pgflogarithmicpoisson(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 logarithmic-Poisson distribution, such that params<-c(theta,lambda), where theta is probability, and lambda is positive number.

Examples

params<-c(.5,4)
pgflogarithmicpoisson(.5,params)

## The function is currently defined as

pgflogarithmicpoisson <- function(s,params) {
k<-s[abs(s)>1]
if (length(k)>0)
      warning("At least one element of the vector s are out of interval [-1,1]")
if (length(params)<2) 
      stop("At least one value in params is missing")
if (length(params)>2) 
      stop("The length of params is 2")
    theta<-params[1]
    lambda<-params[2]
if ((theta>=1)|(theta<=0))
       stop ("Parameter theta belongs to the interval (0,1)")
if (lambda<=0)
       stop ("Parameter lambda must be positive")
    log(1-(1-theta)*exp(lambda*(s-1)))/log(theta)
}
