udlogarithmic {Runuran}

UNU.RAN object for Logarithmic distribution

Description

Create UNU.RAN object for a Logarithmic distribution with shape parameter shape.

[Distribution] – Logarithmic.

Usage

udlogarithmic(shape, lb = 1, ub = Inf)

Arguments

shape

shape parameter. Must be between 0 and 1.

lb

lower bound of (truncated) distribution.

ub

upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Details

The Logarithmic distribution with parameters shape = \theta has density

f(x) = -\log(1-\theta) \theta^x / x

for x = 1, 2, \ldots and 0 < \theta < 1.

The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the interval (lb,ub).

Value

An object of class "unuran.discr".

Examples

## Create distribution object for Logarithmic distribution
dist <- udlogarithmic(shape=0.3)
## Generate generator object; use method DARI
gen <- darid.new(dist)
## Draw a sample of size 100
x <- ur(gen,100)
