geopdf
Geometric probability density function (PDF).
For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) of the geometric distribution with probability of success parameter ps. The size of y is the common size of x and ps. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.
The geometric distribution models the number of failures (x) of a Bernoulli trial with probability ps before the first success.

y1 = geopdf (x, 0.2);
y2 = geopdf (x, 0.5);
y3 = geopdf (x, 0.7);
plot (x, y1, "*b", x, y2, "*g", x, y3, "*r")
