rtppxg: Random Numbers from the TPPGX Distribution

In TPXG: Two Parameter Xgamma & Poisson Xgamma: Regression & Distribution Functions

Random Numbers from the TPPGX Distribution

Description

Generates random numbers form the Two Parameter Poisson Xgamma distribution.

Usage

rtppxg(n, alpha = 1, theta = 1)

Arguments

n	An integer indicating the desired sample size.
alpha	A positive real number.
theta	A positive real number.

Details

In order to obtain random numbers from the TPPXG distribution this function works in two parts. First it generates n random \lambda values where \lambda|\alpha,\theta \sim \text{TPXG}(\alpha,\theta). Given this, it generates n numbers X where X|\lambda \sim \text{Poisson}(\lambda).

Value

A numeric vector of size n containing random values from the TPPXG distribution.
