Hi, today I came across the same problem. And, I'm able to explain it with
an example as well.
Suppose I want to PDF or P(X=5) in Geometric Distribution with P = 0.2.
The theoretical formula is P * (1-P) ^ (x -1). But the R function dgeom(x,
p) works like P * (1-P) ^ x, it does not reduce 1 from

Your definition is valid for integer 'x' starting from 1.

Hey I want to raise one issue in *r-stats **geometric distribution *
function.
I have found the dgeom(x,p) which denotes probability density function of
