check_sparse_pmf_tail function

Check that PMF tail is not sparse

Checks if the tail of a PMF vector has more than span

consecutive values smaller than tol and throws a warning if so.

check_sparse_pmf_tail(pmf, span = 5, tol = 1e-06)

Arguments

• pmf: A probability mass function vector
• span: The number of consecutive indices in the tail to check
• tol: The value which to consider the tail as sparse

Returns

Called for its side effects.
