p2mu: Calculate mean of Conway Maxwell Poisson distribution from...

In edpcr: Performs Extended Digital PCR Analysis

Description

Uses p2lam to calculate lambda of Conway Maxwell Poisson distribution, then uses that to calculate the mean.

Usage

p2mu(p0, disp, n = 100)

Arguments

p0	probability of 0 successes.
disp	dispersion parameter ν (positive).
n	truncation integer.

Details

For the Conway Maxwell Poiosson ditribution the probability of x successes is given by

p(x) = λ^x exp(-λ)/(x!)^ν

for x = 0, 1, 2, ….

p2mu gives the mean for the Conway Maxwell Poisson distribtution with p(0) and ν

Value

The value of μ.
