Standard Deviation
Geometric distribution standard deviation.
The standard deviation for a geometric random variable is
where p
is the success probability.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-geometric-stdev
Usage
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-geometric-stdev' );
stdev( p )
Returns the standard deviation of a geometric distribution with success probability p
.
var v = stdev( 0.1 );
// returns ~9.487
v = stdev( 0.5 );
// returns ~1.414
If provided a success probability p
outside of [0,1]
, the function returns NaN
.
var v = stdev( NaN );
// returns NaN
v = stdev( 1.5 );
// returns NaN
v = stdev( -1.0 );
// returns NaN
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-geometric-stdev' );
var v;
var i;
var p;
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
p = randu();
v = stdev( p );
console.log( 'p: %d, SD(X;p): %d', p.toFixed( 4 ), v.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
