Enq: Grassberger's expectation of n^q

Description

Expected value of $n^q$ when $n$ follows a Poisson law.

Usage

Enq(n, q)

Arguments

n

A positive integer vector.

q

A positive number.

Value

• A vector of the same length as x containing the transformed values.

Details

The expectation of $n^q$ when $n$ follows a Poisson ditribution has been derived by Grassberger (1988).
