Calculate length-biased distribution from discrete length-unbiased distribution starting at 1

Description

Calculate length-biased distribution from discrete length-unbiased distribution starting at 1

Usage

length_biased_dist(dist)

Arguments

dist	vector of probabilities of distribution to transform

Value

vector of probabilities of transformed distribution

Examples

# geometric distribution starting in 1 and cutoff at 70 with mean at about 8.
geom.dist <- create_dist_vec(geom_dist_fct, max.dist = 70)
# calculate mean
sum(1:length(geom.dist)*geom.dist)
# plot original distribution
plot(geom.dist)
geom.dist.lb <- length_biased_dist(geom.dist)
# plot length biased distribution
plot(geom.dist.lb)
