Mode
The mode for a geometric random variable with success probability p
is
Usage
var mode = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/geometric/mode' );
mode( p )
Returns the mode of a geometric distribution with success probability p
.
var v = mode( 0.1 );
// returns 0
v = mode( 0.5 );
// returns 0
If provided a success probability p
outside of [0,1]
, the function returns NaN
.
var v = mode( NaN );
// returns NaN
v = mode( 1.5 );
// returns NaN
v = mode( -1.0 );
// returns NaN
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var mode = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/geometric/mode' );
var v;
var i;
var p;
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
p = randu();
v = mode( p );
console.log( 'p: %d, mode(X;p): %d', p.toFixed( 4 ), v.toFixed( 4 ) );
