Description
The vRngGeometric function generates geometrically distributed random numbers with probability p of a single trial success, where p∈R; 0 < p < 1.
A geometrically distributed variate represents the number of independent Bernoulli trials preceding the first success. The probability of a single Bernoulli trial success is p.
The probability distribution is given by:
P(X = k) = p·(1 - p)k, k∈ {0,1,2, ... }.
The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

-
stream is not a valid random stream.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_UPDATE
-
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns an invalid number of updated entries in a buffer, that is, < 0 or > nmax.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_NO_NUMBERS
-
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns 0 as the number of updated entries in a buffer.
