bivpois.table {bivpois}R Documentation

Probability of Bivariate Poisson Using Recursive relations

Description

Returns the probability of the bivariate Poisson distribution using recursive relations.

Usage

bivpois.table(x, y, lambda = c(1, 1, 1))

Arguments

x, y single values containing which values should evaluated (x and y should be at least 1)
lambda Vector (of length 3) containing values of the parameters lambda1, lambda2 and lambda3 of the bivariate poisson distribution.

Details

In order to calculate bivpoison probability values we use recursive relationships. This function is much slower than pbivpois

Value

A matrix with dimension (x+1) X (y+1) is returned. Cell ij contains the probability P(X=i-1, Y=j-1).
