geostat

Mean and variance for the geometric distribution

Syntax

• [M,V] = geostat(P)
  

Description

[M,V] = geostat(P) returns the mean and variance for the geometric distribution with parameters specified by P.

The mean of the geometric distribution with parameter p is q/p, where q = 1-p. The variance is q/p².

Examples

• [m,v] = geostat(1./(1:6))
  m =
      0    1.0000    2.0000    3.0000    4.0000    5.0000
  v =
      0    2.0000    6.0000   12.0000   20.0000   30.0000
