CONPPFName:
with and m denoting the shape parameters. The case where m = 1 reduces to the geometric distribution. For this reason, the Consul distribution is also referred to as the generalized geometric distribution. The mean and variance of the Consul distribution are:
2 = The Consul distribution is also parameterized in terms of its mean, , which results in the following probability mass function:
can be expressed in terms of : For this parameterization, the mean and variance are:
2 = Dataplot supports both parameterizations (see the Note section below). Dataplot computes the cumulative distribution function using the following recurrence relation given on page 320 of Consul and Famoye:
where . If the parameterization is used, it is converted to the parameterization and the above recurrence relation is applied. The Consul percent point function is computed by summing the cumulative distribution function until the specified probability is obtained.
<SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <p> is a positive integer variable, number, or parameter in the range (0,1); <shape> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the valuie of theta (or mu); <m> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the second shape parameter; <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed Consul ppf value is stored; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
