Like a geometric distribution, but with an upper bound B. The value B gets all the probability mass that would ordinarily go to numbers greater than or equal to B. The parameter alpha now denotes P(X >= n+1 | X >= n) only for n < B. The distribution is defined by:
    P(X = n) = (1 - alpha) alpha^n  for n < B
    P(X = B) = alpha^B
  
The alpha value should be given as a parameter, and the upper bound as an argument.


public class BoundedGeometric extends AbstractCondProbDistrib {
    

Creates a bounded geometric distribution with the given alpha parameter.

Throws:  IllegalArgumentException if alpha < 0 or alpha > 1.


    public BoundedGeometric(List params) {
	if (params.size() != 1) {
	    throw new IllegalArgumentException
		("BoundedGeometric distribution requires exactly one "
		 + "parameter, the success probability.");
	}

	if (!(params.get(0) instanceof Number)){
	    throw new IllegalArgumentException 
		("The first parameter (alpha) for the bounded geometric "
		 + "distribution must be of "
		 + "class Number, not " + params.get(0).getClass());
	}

        alpha = ((Number) params.get(0)).doubleValue();
	if ((alpha < 0) || (alpha > 1)) {
	    throw new IllegalArgumentException
		("Illegal alpha parameter for bounded geometric "
		 + "distribution: " + alpha);
	}

	computeLogParams();
    }

    

Returns the probability of the given integer under this distribution.


    public double getProb(int n) {
	if (n < 0) {
	    return 0;
	}
	return (1 - alpha) * Math.pow(alpha, n);
    }

    

Returns the probability of the given value, which should be an Integer. Expects no arguments.


    public double getProb(List args, Object value) {
	int bound = processArgs(args);

	if (!(value instanceof Integer)){
	    throw new IllegalArgumentException 
		("The value passed to the geometric "
		 + "distribution's getProb method must be "
		 + "of class Integer, not " + args.get(0).getClass() + ".");
	}
	int n = ((Integer) value).intValue();

	if ((n >= 0) && (n < bound)) {
	    return (1 - alpha) * Math.pow(alpha, n);
	} 
	if (n == bound) {
	    return Math.pow(alpha, bound);
	}
	return 0;
    }

    

Returns the natural log of the probability of the given integer under this distribution.


    public double getLogProb(int n) {
	if (n < 0) {
	    return Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
	}

	// log of (1 - alpha) * (alpha ^ n)
	return logOneMinusAlpha + (n * logAlpha);
    }

    

Returns the log probability of the given value, which should be an Integer. Expects no arguments.


    public double getLogProb(List args, Object value) {
	int bound = processArgs(args);

	if (!(value instanceof Integer)){
	    throw new IllegalArgumentException 
		("The value passed to the geometric "
		 + "distribution's getProb method must be "
		 + "of class Integer, not " + args.get(0).getClass() + ".");
	}
	int n = ((Integer) value).intValue();

	if ((n >= 0) && (n < bound)) {
	    // log of (1 - alpha) * (alpha ^ n)
	    return logOneMinusAlpha + (n * logAlpha);
	} 
	if (n == bound) {
	    return bound * logAlpha;
	}
	return Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
    }

    

Generates a sample from this distribution. Expects no arguments.


    public Object sampleVal(List args, Type childType){
	int bound = processArgs(args);

	double u = Util.random();
	double cumProb = 0;

	int n = 0;
	double p = 1; // probability that value is >= n
	while (true) {

	    if (cumProb > u) {
		break;
	    }

	    ++n;
	    p *= alpha;
	}
