#' Hurdle geometric distribution
#'
#' Probability mass function, distribution function, and random generation for
#' the hurdle (zero-altered) geometric distribution.
#'
#' @details
#' This implementation allows for automatic differentiation with \code{RTMB}.
#'
#' A hurdle distribution models the zeros and the positive counts as two separate
#' processes: the probability of a zero is a free parameter, and the positive
#' counts follow the corresponding zero-truncated distribution. Writing
#' \eqn{p_0} for \code{zeroprob},
#' \deqn{P(X = 0) = p_0, \qquad
#'       P(X = x) = (1 - p_0)\,\frac{P_{\mathrm{Geom}}(x;\,\pi)}{1 - \pi_0},
#'       \quad x = 1, 2, \ldots}
#' where \eqn{\pi_0 = P_{\mathrm{Geom}}(0;\,\pi) = \pi} is the probability of a zero
#' under the ordinary geometric.
#'
#' Unlike zero-inflation, which can only add zeros to those the geometric already
#' produces, \code{zeroprob} here is exactly the probability of a zero and may be
#' larger \emph{or} smaller than \eqn{\pi_0}. The two coincide with the ordinary
#' geometric when \code{zeroprob} equals \eqn{\pi_0}.
