Edlaplace2 {DiscreteLaplace}

First- and second-order moments of ADSL

Description

First- and second-order moment of the ADSL distribution.

Usage

Edlaplace2(p, q)

Arguments

p

the first parameter p, in (0,1), of the ADSL

q

the first parameter q, in (0,1), of the ADSL

Details

For the ADSL distribution,

E(X;p,q)=\frac{\log q}{\log(pq)}\frac{p}{1-p}-\frac{\log p}{\log(pq)}\frac{1}{1-q}

and

E(X^2;p,q)=\frac{\log q}{\log(pq)}\frac{p(1+p)}{(1-p)^2}+\frac{\log p}{\log(pq)}\frac{1+q}{(1-q)^2}

Value

A list containing the first- and the second-order moments of the ADSL distribution, E1 and E2.
