PolyaAeppliDistribution
PolyaAeppliDistribution[
, p]
represents a Polya-Aeppli distribution with shape parameters and p.
Details
- The Polya-Aeppli distribution is a compound geometric Poisson distribution, i.e. the distribution of a sum of independent identically distributed geometric random variates where the number of variates follows Poisson distribution.
- The probability for positive integer value
in a Polya-Aeppli distribution is proportional to ![p^(x-1) TemplateBox[{{1, -, x}, 2, {-, {{(, {{(, {1, -, p}, )}, , theta}, )}, /, p}}}, Hypergeometric1F1]](Files/PolyaAeppliDistribution.en/2.png "p^(x-1) TemplateBox[{{1, -, x}, 2, {-, {{(, {{(, {1, -, p}, )}, , theta}, )}, /, p}}}, Hypergeometric1F1]")
. - PolyaAeppliDistribution allows to be any positive real number, and p is a number between 0 and 1.
- PolyaAeppliDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomVariate.
