udlogarithmic: UNU.RAN object for Logarithmic distribution

Description

Create UNU.RAN object for a Logarithmic distribution with shape parameter shape. [Distribution] -- Logarithmic.

Usage

udlogarithmic(shape, lb = 1, ub = Inf)

Arguments

shape

shape parameter. Must be between 0 and 1.

lb

lower bound of (truncated) distribution.

ub

upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Value

• An object of class "unuran.discr".

Details

The Logarithmic distribution with parameters shape $= \theta$ has density $$f(x) = -\log(1-\theta) \theta^x / x$$ for $x = 1, 2, \ldots$ and $0 < \theta < 1$.

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