geometric.sequence function

Create a Geometric Sequence

Create a geometric sequence. 1.0

GeometricSequence(length, initial.value = 1, discount.factor = .5)

Arguments

• length: A positive integer giving the length of the desired sequence.
• initial.value: The first term in the sequence. Cannot be zero.
• discount.factor: The ratio between a sequence term and the preceding term. Cannot be zero.

Returns

A numeric vector containing the desired sequence.

Examples

GeometricSequence(4, .8, .6)
# [1] 0.8000 0.4800 0.2880 0.1728

GeometricSequence(5, 2, 3)
# [1]   2   6  18  54 162

## Not run:

GeometricSequence(0, -1, -2)
# Error: length > 0 is not TRUE
