8    * The Geometric distribution. The geometric distribution is the only discrete memoryless random distribution. It is a discrete
9    * analog of the exponential distribution. There are two variants, one that indicates the number of Bernoulli trials to get the
10   * first success (1, 2, 3, ...), and one that indicates the number of failures before the first success (0, 1, 2, ...). In line
11   * with Law & Kelton, the version of the number of failures before the first success is modeled here, so X ={0, 1, 2, ...}.
12   * For more information on this distribution see <a href="https://mathworld.wolfram.com/GeometricDistribution.html">
