R Documentation

Evaluate the moment generating function (MGF) of the exponential distribution or a derivative of the MGF

Description

Evaluate the moment generating function (MGF) of the exponential distribution or a derivative of the MGF

Usage

MGFexponential(x, rate, deriv = 0)

Arguments

`x`	The value at which to evaluate the MGF
`rate`	The rate parameter value of the exponential distribution
`deriv`	An integer, the number of derivatives of the MGF to apply

Value

The number resulting from the function evaluation

Examples

# MGF of an exponential distribution, evaluated at -0.1:
MGFexponential(-0.1, rate = 0.05)
# Second moment of the distribution (second derivative evaluated at zero):
MGFexponential(0, rate = 0.05, deriv = 2)
