udgeom: UNU.RAN object for Geometric distribution

Description

Create UNU.RAN object for a Geometric distribution with parameter prob. [Distribution] -- Geometric.

Usage

udgeom(prob, lb = 0, ub = Inf)

Arguments

prob

probability of success in each trial. 0 < prob <= 1<="" code="">.

lb

lower bound of (truncated) distribution.

ub

upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Value

• An object of class "unuran.discr".

Details

The Geometric distribution with prob $= p$ has density $$p(x) = p (1-p)^x$$ for $x = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$, $0 < p \le 1$.

The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the interval (lb,ub).

Examples

## Create distribution object for Geometric distribution
dist <- udgeom(prob=0.33)
## Generate generator object; use method DARI
gen <- darid.new(dist)
## Draw a sample of size 100
x <- ur(gen,100)
