This function will attempt to estimate the geometric prob parameter given some vector of values .x. The function will return a list output by default, and if the parameter .auto_gen_empirical is set to TRUE then the empirical data given to the parameter .x will be run through the tidy_empirical() function and combined with the estimated geometric data.

Usage

util_geometric_param_estimate(.x, .auto_gen_empirical = TRUE)

Arguments

.x

The vector of data to be passed to the function. Must be non-negative integers.

.auto_gen_empirical

This is a boolean value of TRUE/FALSE with default set to TRUE. This will automatically create the tidy_empirical() output for the .x parameter and use the tidy_combine_distributions(). The user can then plot out the data using $combined_data_tbl from the function output.

Value

A tibble/list

Details

This function will see if the given vector .x is a numeric vector. It will attempt to estimate the prob parameter of a geometric distribution.
