Function cmb_random_geometric

Function Documentation

unsigned cmb_random_geometric(double p)

Geometric distribution, a discrete parallel to the exponential distribution, returns an integer value in [1, oo).

Models the number of trials up to and including the first success in a series of consecutive Bernoulli trials each with probability p of success.

Mean 1/p, variance (1-p)/p^2.

Performs the calculation by simulating the experiment.
