dDGEII: Discrete generalized exponential distribution - a second type

Description

These functions define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Discrete generalized exponential distribution a second type with parameters \(\mu\) and \(\sigma\).

Usage

dDGEII(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1.5, log = FALSE)
pDGEII(q, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1.5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rDGEII(n, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1.5)
qDGEII(p, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1.5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

Value

dDGEII gives the density, pDGEII gives the distribution function, qDGEII gives the quantile function, rDGEII

generates random deviates.

Arguments

x, q

vector of (non-negative integer) quantiles.

mu

vector of the mu parameter.

sigma

vector of the sigma parameter.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P[X <= x]\), otherwise, \(P[X > x]\).

n

number of random values to return.

p

vector of probabilities.

Details

The DGEII distribution with parameters \(\mu\) and \(\sigma\) has a support 0, 1, 2, ... and mass function given by

\(f(x | \mu, \sigma) = (1-\mu^{x+1})^{\sigma}-(1-\mu^x)^{\sigma}\)

with \(0 < \mu < 1\) and \(\sigma > 0\). If \(\sigma=1\), the DGEII distribution reduces to the geometric distribution with success probability \(1-\mu\).

Note: in this implementation we changed the original parameters \(p\) to \(\mu\) and \(\alpha\) to \(\sigma\), we did it to implement this distribution within gamlss framework.
