Mathematical and statistical functions for the Hypergeometric distribution, which is commonly used to model the number of successes out of a population containing a known number of possible successes, for example the number of red balls from an urn or red, blue and yellow balls.

Value

Returns an R6 object inheriting from class SDistribution.

Details

The Hypergeometric distribution parameterised with population size, \(N\), number of possible successes, \(K\), and number of draws from the distribution, \(n\), is defined by the pmf, $$f(x) = C(K, x)C(N-K,n-x)/C(N,n)$$ for \(N = \{0,1,2,\ldots\}\), \(n, K = \{0,1,2,\ldots,N\}\) and \(C(a,b)\) is the combination (or binomial coefficient) function.

Distribution support

The distribution is supported on \(\{max(0, n + K - N),...,min(n,K)\}\).

Default Parameterisation

Hyper(size = 50, successes = 5, draws = 10)

Methods

Inherited methods


Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

Hypergeometric$new(
  size = NULL,
  successes = NULL,
  failures = NULL,
  draws = NULL,
  decorators = NULL
)

Arguments

size

(integer(1))
Population size. Defined on positive Naturals.

successes

(integer(1))
Number of population successes. Defined on positive Naturals.

failures

(integer(1))
Number of population failures. failures = size - successes. If given then successes is ignored. Defined on positive Naturals.

draws

(integer(1))
Number of draws from the distribution, defined on the positive Naturals.

decorators

(character())
Decorators to add to the distribution during construction.


Method mean()

The arithmetic mean of a (discrete) probability distribution X is the expectation $$E_X(X) = \sum p_X(x)*x$$ with an integration analogue for continuous distributions.

Usage

Hypergeometric$mean(...)

Arguments

...

Unused.


Method mode()

The mode of a probability distribution is the point at which the pdf is a local maximum, a distribution can be unimodal (one maximum) or multimodal (several maxima).

Usage

Hypergeometric$mode(which = "all")

Arguments

which

(character(1) | numeric(1)
Ignored if distribution is unimodal. Otherwise "all" returns all modes, otherwise specifies which mode to return.


Method variance()

The variance of a distribution is defined by the formula $$var_X = E[X^2] - E[X]^2$$ where \(E_X\) is the expectation of distribution X. If the distribution is multivariate the covariance matrix is returned.

Usage

Hypergeometric$variance(...)

Arguments

...

Unused.


Method skewness()

The skewness of a distribution is defined by the third standardised moment, $$sk_X = E_X[\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}^3]$$ where \(E_X\) is the expectation of distribution X, \(\mu\) is the mean of the distribution and \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation of the distribution.

Usage

Hypergeometric$skewness(...)

Arguments

...

Unused.


Method kurtosis()

The kurtosis of a distribution is defined by the fourth standardised moment, $$k_X = E_X[\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}^4]$$ where \(E_X\) is the expectation of distribution X, \(\mu\) is the mean of the distribution and \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation of the distribution. Excess Kurtosis is Kurtosis - 3.

Usage

Hypergeometric$kurtosis(excess = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

excess

(logical(1))
If TRUE (default) excess kurtosis returned.

...

Unused.


Method setParameterValue()

Sets the value(s) of the given parameter(s).

Usage

Hypergeometric$setParameterValue(
  ...,
  lst = list(...),
  error = "warn",
  resolveConflicts = FALSE
)

Arguments

...

ANY
Named arguments of parameters to set values for. See examples.

lst

(list(1))
Alternative argument for passing parameters. List names should be parameter names and list values are the new values to set.

error

(character(1))
If "warn" then returns a warning on error, otherwise breaks if "stop".

resolveConflicts

(logical(1))
If FALSE (default) throws error if conflicting parameterisations are provided, otherwise automatically resolves them by removing all conflicting parameters.


Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

Hypergeometric$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
