rborel {epichains} | R Documentation |
Generate random numbers from the Borel distribution
Description
Random numbers are generated by simulating from a Poisson branching process
Usage
rborel(n, mu, censor_at = Inf)
Arguments
n |
Number of random variates to generate.
|
mu |
A non-negative number for the poisson mean.
|
censor_at |
A stopping criterion; <numeric> . Defaults to Inf . A
value above which the simulation ends and the random number is set to
Inf (as a form of censoring). rborel() simulates chain sizes using
simulate_chain_stats() with a Poisson offspring distribution, so if
mu >= 1 , the simulation could proceed unendingly. This parameter is used
to prevent this.
|
Value
A numeric vector of random numbers.
