- statistics: [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)
