simcmp {degreenet}

Simulate from a Conway Maxwell Poisson Distribution

Description

Functions to generate random samples from a Conway Maxwell Poisson Probability Distribution

Usage

simcmp(n=100, v=c(7,2.6), maxdeg=10000)

Arguments

n

number of samples to draw.

v

Conway Maxwell Poisson parameters: lognormal mean and lognormal s.d.

maxdeg

Maximum degree to sample (using truncation of the distribution).

Value

vector of random draws or samples.

Note

See the papers on https://handcock.github.io/?q=Holland for details
