otzetaUC: One-truncated Zeta Distribution

In VGAMdata: Data Supporting the 'VGAM' Package

One-truncated Zeta Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function, and random generation for the one-truncated zeta distribution.

Usage

dotzeta(x, shape, log = FALSE)
potzeta(q, shape, log.p = FALSE)
qotzeta(p, shape)
rotzeta(n, shape)

Arguments

x, q, p, n	Same as in runif.
shape	The positive shape parameter described in in zetaff. Here it is called shape because it is positive.
log, log.p	Same as in runif.

Details

The one-truncated zeta distribution is a zeta distribution but with the probability of a one being zero. The other probabilities are scaled to add to unity. Some more details are given in zetaff.

Value

dotzeta gives the density, potzeta gives the distribution function, qotzeta gives the quantile function, and rotzeta generates random deviates.

Note

Given some response data, the VGAM family function otzeta estimates the parameter shape.
