pbivgeo {BivGeo}

Joint Cumulative Function for the Basu-Dhar Bivariate Geometric Distribution

Description

This function computes the joint cumulative function of the Basu-Dhar bivariate geometric distribution assuming arbitrary parameter values.

Usage

pbivgeo(x, y, theta, lower.tail = TRUE)

Arguments

x

matrix or vector containing the data. If x is a matrix then it is considered as x the first column and y the second column (y argument need be setted to NULL). Additional columns and y are ignored.

y

vector containing the data of y. It is used only if x is also a vector. Vectors x and y should be of equal length.

theta

vector (of length 3) containing values of the parameters \theta_1, \theta_2 and \theta_3 of the Basu-Dhar bivariate Geometric distribution. The parameters are restricted to 0 < \theta_i < 1, i = 1,2 and 0 < \theta_3 \le 1.

lower.tail

logical; If TRUE (default), probabilities are P(X \le x, Y \le y) otherwise P(X > x, Y > y).

Details

The joint cumulative function for a random vector (X, Y) following a Basu-Dhar bivariate geometric distribution could be written as:

P(X \le x, Y \le y) = 1 - (\theta_{1}\theta_3)^{x} - (\theta_{2}\theta_3)^{y} + \theta_{1}^{x}\theta_{2}^{y} \theta_{3}^{\max(x,y)}

and the joint survival function is given by:

P(X > x, Y > y) = \theta_{1}^{x}\theta_{2}^{y} \theta_{3}^{\max(x,y)}

Value

pbivgeo gives the values of the cumulative function.

Invalid arguments will return an error message.
