Implementation of the Polya-Aeppli Distribution

Description

Functions for evaluating the mass density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random variate generation for the Polya-Aeppli distribution, also known as the geometric compound Poisson distribution.
More information on the implementation of polyaAeppli can be found at Conrad J. Burden (2014) <arXiv:1406.2780>.

Details

Package: polyaAeppli
Type: Package
Version: 2.0.2
Depends: R (>= 3.0.0)
Date: 2020-04-21
License: GPL(>=2)

Consistent with the conventions used in R package stats, this implementation of the Polya-Aeppli distribution comprises the four functions

dPolyaAeppli(x, lambda, prob, log = FALSE)
pPolyaAeppli(q, lambda, prob, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qPolyaAeppli(p, lambda, prob, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rPolyaAeppli(n, lambda, prob)

Examples

lambda <- 8
prob <- 0.2
## Plot histogram of random sample
PAsample <- rPolyaAeppli(10000, lambda, prob)  
maxPA <- max(PAsample)
hist(PAsample, breaks=(0:(maxPA + 1)) - 0.5, freq=FALSE, 
  		xlab = "x", ylab = expression(P[X](x)), main="", border="blue")
## Add plot of density function
x <- 0:maxPA
points(x, dPolyaAeppli(x, lambda, prob), type="h", lwd=2)

lambda <- 4000
prob <- 0.005
qq <- 0:10000
## Plot log of the extreme lower tail p-value
log.pp <- pPolyaAeppli(qq, lambda, prob, log.p=TRUE)
plot(qq, log.pp, type = "l", ylim=c(-lambda,0), 
  				xlab = "x", ylab = expression("log Pr(X " <= "x)"))
## Plot log of the extreme upper tail p-value
log.1minuspp <- pPolyaAeppli(qq, lambda, prob, log.p=TRUE, lower.tail=FALSE)
points(qq, log.1minuspp, type = "l", col = "red")
legend("topright", c("lower tail", "upper tail"), 
				col=c("black", "red"), lty=1, bg="white")
