- Function File: [m, v] = geostat (p)
Compute mean and variance of the geometric distribution.
Arguments
- p is the rate parameter of the geometric distribution. The elements of p must be probabilities
Return values
- m is the mean of the geometric distribution
- v is the variance of the geometric distribution
Example
p = 1 ./ (1:6); [m, v] = geostat (p)
