ConwayMaxwellPoissonDistribution


class ConwayMaxwellPoissonDistribution<Arg1, Arg2, Arg3>(μ:Arg1, ν:Arg2, n:Arg3) < BoundedDiscreteDistribution

Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution.

@param μ Mode. @param ν Dispersion. - n Truncation point.

The distribution is always truncated on [0,n] because of an intractable normalizing constant that can only be expressed as an infinite series on the support of the non-truncated distribution, [0,\infty). The larger n, the closer the approximation to the non-truncated distribution---if that is desired---but the more expensive operations: most are O(n).
