Zageom: Zero-Altered Geometric Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the zero-altered geometric distribution with parameter pobs0.

Usage

dzageom(x, prob, pobs0 = 0, log = FALSE)
pzageom(q, prob, pobs0 = 0)
qzageom(p, prob, pobs0 = 0)
rzageom(n, prob, pobs0 = 0)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1 then the length is taken to be the number required.

prob, log

Parameters from the ordinary geometric distribution (see dgeom).

pobs0

Probability of (an observed) zero, called $pobs0$. The default value of pobs0 = 0 corresponds to the response having a positive geometric distribution.

Value

dzageom gives the density and pzageom gives the distribution function, qzageom gives the quantile function, and rzageom generates random deviates.

Details

The probability function of $Y$ is 0 with probability pobs0, else a positive geometric(prob) distribution.

Examples

prob <- 0.35; pobs0 <- 0.05; x <- (-1):7
dzageom(x, prob = prob, pobs0 = pobs0)
table(rzageom(100, prob = prob, pobs0 = pobs0))
