      • GeometricDistribution

        public GeometricDistribution​(double p)
        Creates a geometric distribution.
        Parameters:
        p - Probability of success.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if p <= 0 or p > 1.

    • Method Detail

      • getProbabilityOfSuccess

        public double getProbabilityOfSuccess()
        Access the probability of success for this distribution.
        Returns:
        the probability of success.

      • probability

        public double probability​(int x)
        For a random variable X whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns P(X = x). In other words, this method represents the probability mass function (PMF) for the distribution.
        Parameters:
        x - Point at which the PMF is evaluated.
        Returns:
        the value of the probability mass function at x.

      • logProbability

        public double logProbability​(int x)
        For a random variable X whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns log(P(X = x)), where log is the natural logarithm.
        Parameters:
        x - Point at which the PMF is evaluated.
        Returns:
        the logarithm of the value of the probability mass function at x.

      • cumulativeProbability

        public double cumulativeProbability​(int x)
        For a random variable X whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns P(X <= x). In other, words, this method represents the (cumulative) distribution function (CDF) for this distribution.
        Parameters:
        x - Point at which the CDF is evaluated.
        Returns:
        the probability that a random variable with this distribution takes a value less than or equal to x.

      • getMean

        public double getMean()
        Gets the mean of this distribution. For probability parameter p, the mean is (1 - p) / p.
        Returns:
        the mean, or Double.NaN if it is not defined.

      • getVariance

        public double getVariance()
        Gets the variance of this distribution. For probability parameter p, the variance is (1 - p) / (p * p).
        Returns:
        the variance, or Double.NaN if it is not defined.

      • getSupportLowerBound

        public int getSupportLowerBound()
        Gets the lower bound of the support. This method must return the same value as inverseCumulativeProbability(0), i.e. inf {x in Z | P(X <= x) > 0}. By convention, Integer.MIN_VALUE should be substituted for negative infinity. The lower bound of the support is always 0.
        Returns:
        lower bound of the support (always 0)

      • getSupportUpperBound

        public int getSupportUpperBound()
        Gets the upper bound of the support. This method must return the same value as inverseCumulativeProbability(1), i.e. inf {x in R | P(X <= x) = 1}. By convention, Integer.MAX_VALUE should be substituted for positive infinity. The upper bound of the support is infinite (which we approximate as Integer.MAX_VALUE).
        Returns:
        upper bound of the support (always Integer.MAX_VALUE)

      • isSupportConnected

        public boolean isSupportConnected()
        Indicates whether the support is connected, i.e. whether all integers between the lower and upper bound of the support are included in the support. The support of this distribution is connected.
        Returns:
        true

      • probability

        public double probability​(int x0,
                          int x1)
        For a random variable X whose values are distributed according to this distribution, this method returns P(x0 < X <= x1). The default implementation uses the identity P(x0 < X <= x1) = P(X <= x1) - P(X <= x0)
        Specified by:
        probability in interface DiscreteDistribution
        Parameters:
        x0 - Lower bound (exclusive).
        x1 - Upper bound (inclusive).
        Returns:
        the probability that a random variable with this distribution will take a value between x0 and x1, excluding the lower and including the upper endpoint.

      • sample

        public static int[] sample​(int n,
                           DiscreteDistribution.Sampler sampler)
        Utility function for allocating an array and filling it with n samples generated by the given sampler.
        Parameters:
        n - Number of samples.
        sampler - Sampler.
        Returns:
        an array of size n.
