Log: Logarithmic Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, and random generation for the logarithmic distribution.

Usage

dlog(x, prob)
plog(q, prob, log.p=FALSE)rlog(n, prob, Smallno=1.0e-6)

Arguments

x, q

Vector of quantiles. For the density, it should be a vector with positive integer values in order for the probabilities to be positive.

n

number of observations. A single positive integer.

prob

The parameter value $c$ described in in logff. Here it is called prob because $0rlog() this parameter must be of length 1.

log.p

Logical. If TRUE then all probabilities p are given as log(p).

Smallno

Numeric, a small value used by the rejection method for determining the upper limit of the distribution. That is, plog(U, prob) > 1-Smallno where U is the upper limit.

Value

• dlog gives the density, plog gives the distribution function, and rlog generates random deviates.

Details

The details are given in logff.
