pCOMPBin function

COM Poisson Binomial Distribution

These functions provide the ability for generating probability function values and cumulative probability function values for the COM Poisson Binomial Distribution.

pCOMPBin(x,n,p,v)

Arguments

• x: vector of binomial random variables.
• n: single value for no of binomial trials.
• p: single value for probability of success.
• v: single value for v.

Returns

The output of pCOMPBin gives cumulative probability values in vector form.

Details

The probability function and cumulative function can be constructed and are denoted below

The cumulative probability function is the summation of probability function values.

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.

Examples

#plotting the random variables and probability values
col <- rainbow(5)
a <- c(0.58,0.59,0.6,0.61,0.62)
b <- c(0.022,0.023,0.024,0.025,0.026)
plot(0,0,main="COM Poisson Binomial probability function graph",xlab="Binomial random variable",
ylab="Probability function values",xlim = c(0,10),ylim = c(0,0.5))
for (i in 1:5)
{
