Simulate from a Waring Distribution

Description

Functions to generate random samples from a Waring Probability Distribution

Usage

simwar(n=100, v=c(3.5, 0.1), maxdeg=10000)

Arguments

n	number of samples to draw.
v	Waring parameters: scaling exponent and probability of a new actor.
maxdeg	Maximum degree to sample (using truncation of the distribution).

Value

vector of random draws or samples.

Note

See the papers on https://handcock.github.io/?q=Holland for details
