Geometric Distribution

Evaluate and generate random samples from geometric distribution

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers multiple ways to work with the geometric distribution.

  • Use distribution-specific functions with specified distribution parameters. The functions can accept parameters of multiple geometric distributions.

  • Use the generic distribution functions with the specified distribution name "Geometric" and corresponding parameters.

To learn about the geometric distribution, see Geometric Distribution.

  • Geometric Distribution

    The geometric distribution models the number of failures before one success in a series of independent trials, where each trial results in either success or failure, and the probability of success in any individual trial is constant.
