ghyper.types: Kemp and Kemp generalized hypergeometric types

Description

Generalized hypergeometric types as given by Kemp and Kemp

Arguments

Two-way table

The basic representation is in terms of a two-way table:

ccc{ x k-x k a-x b-k+x N-k a b N }

and the associated hypergeometric probability $P(x)=C_x^a C_{k-x}^b / C_k^N$.

The types are classified according to ranges of a, k, and N.

Kemp and Kemp types

Minor modifications in the definition of three of the types have been made to avoid numerical difficulties. Note, J denotes a nonnegative integer.
