ConwayMaxwellPoisson Class

Discrete Univariate Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution.

The Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution is a generalization of the Poisson, Geometric and Bernoulli distributions. It is parameterized by two real numbers "lambda" and "nu". For

  • nu = 0 the distribution reverts to a Geometric distribution
  • nu = 1 the distribution reverts to the Poisson distribution
  • nu -> infinity the distribution converges to a Bernoulli distribution

This implementation will cache the value of the normalization constant. Wikipedia - ConwayMaxwellPoisson distribution.
