Geometric — The Geometric distribution
Usage
Geometric(p: Double) → Distribution<Int>
Arguments
-
p: -
Success probability
Description
The geometric distribution gives the number of failures before the first success, where success has probability p. The probability mass function is:
Pr(X=n) = p*(1-p)^n
Sampled values are in the set {0, 1, 2, ... }.
Examples
~Geometric(0.1) # A large number of failures.~Geometric(0.9) # A small number of failures.add(1,~Geometric(0.9)) # A geometric starting at 1~IID(10,Geometric[0.9))
