Geometric Log Likelihood Function

Description

The log likelihood of a geometric density with data, x, prob parameter.

Usage

likgeom(x, prob, log = TRUE)

Arguments

x

vector of quantiles representing the number of failures in a sequence of Bernoulli trials before success occurs.

prob

probability of success in each trial. 0 < prob <= 1.

log

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

Details

The log likelihood is the log of a function of parameters given the data.

Value

A numeric scalar for the log likelihood of the geometric density given the data where prob can be held constant or if vector were given vector will be returned.

Examples

likgeom(x = rgeom(n = 2, prob = .4),
        prob = .4)
