      • setNumberOfSuccesses

        @Deprecated
        public void setNumberOfSuccesses​(int successes)
        Deprecated.
        as of 2.1 (class will become immutable in 3.0)
        Change the number of successes for this distribution.
        Specified by:
        setNumberOfSuccesses in interface PascalDistribution
        Parameters:

        Specified by:
        setProbabilityOfSuccess in interface PascalDistribution
        Parameters:
        p - the new probability of success
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if p is not a valid probability.
      • probability

        public double probability​(int x)
        For this distribution, X, this method returns P(X = x).
        Specified by:
        probability in interface IntegerDistribution
        Parameters:
        x - the value at which the PMF is evaluated
        Returns:

      • inverseCumulativeProbability

        public int inverseCumulativeProbability​(double p)
                                         throws MathException
        For this distribution, X, this method returns the largest x, such that P(X ≤ x) ≤ p.

        Returns -1 for p=0 and Integer.MAX_VALUE for p=1.

        Specified by:
        inverseCumulativeProbability in interface IntegerDistribution
        Overrides:
        inverseCumulativeProbability in class AbstractIntegerDistribution
        Parameters:
        p - the desired probability
        Returns:
        the largest x such that P(X ≤ x) <= p
        Throws:
        MathException - if the inverse cumulative probability can not be computed due to convergence or other numerical errors.
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if p < 0 or p > 1
      • getSupportLowerBound

        public int getSupportLowerBound()
        Returns the lower bound of the support for the distribution. The lower bound of the support is always 0 no matter the parameters.
        Returns:
        lower bound of the support (always 0)
        Since:
        2.2
      • getSupportUpperBound

        public int getSupportUpperBound()
        Returns the upper bound of the support for the distribution. The upper bound of the support is always positive infinity no matter the parameters. Positive infinity is represented by Integer.MAX_VALUE together with AbstractIntegerDistribution.isSupportUpperBoundInclusive() being false
        Returns:
        upper bound of the support (always Integer.MAX_VALUE for positive infinity)
        Since:
        2.2
      • getNumericalMean

        public double getNumericalMean()
        Returns the mean. For number of successes r and probability of success p, the mean is ( r * p ) / ( 1 - p )
        Returns:
        the mean
        Since:
        2.2
      • getNumericalVariance

        public double getNumericalVariance()
        Returns the variance. For number of successes r and probability of success p, the mean is ( r * p ) / ( 1 - p )^2
        Returns:
        the variance
        Since:
        2.2
