cfN_Geometric: Characteristic function of Geometric distribution

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Description

cfN_Geometric(t, p, type, cfX) evaluates the characteristic function cf(t) of the Geometric distribution.

The standard Geometric distribution (type = "standard" or "zero") is defined on non-negative integers k = 0,1,... .

The shifted Geometric distribution (type = "shifted") is defined on positive integers k = 1,2,... .

Both types are parametrized by the success probability parameter p in [0,1]), i.e. cfN_Geometric(t, p, "standard") = p / (1 - (1-p) * exp(1i*t)), cfN_Geometric(t, p, "shifted") = exp(1i*t) * (p / (1 - (1-p) * exp(1i*t))).

cfN_Geometric(t, p, type, cfX) evaluates the compound characteristic function cf(t) = Geometric(-1i*log(cfX(t)), p), where cfX is function handle of the characteristic function cfX(t) of a continuous distribution and/or random variable X.

Note that such CF is characteristic function of the compound distribution, i.e. distribution of the random variable Y = X_1 + ... + X_N, where X_i ~ F_X are i.i.d. random variables with common CF cfX(t), and N ~ F_N is independent RV with its CF given by cfN(t).
