Initializes a reference vector for use with DRANDGENERALDISCRETE. Reference vector is for a Geometric distribution with probability, \(f (X)\), defined by:

\[f (X) = P (1 – P )^X , X = 0, 1,\dotsi\]
C Generate 100 values from the Geometric distribution
    INTEGER LSTATE,N
    PARAMETER (LSTATE=16,N=100)
    INTEGER I,INFO,SEED(1),STATE(LSTATE)
    DOUBLE PRECISION P
    INTEGER X(N)
    INTEGER LREF
    DOUBLE PRECISION REF(1000)

C Set the seed
    SEED(1) = 1234

C Read in the distributional parameters
    READ(5,*) P

C Initialize the STATE vector
    CALL DRANDINITIALIZE(1,1,SEED,1,STATE,LSTATE,INFO)

C Initialize the reference vector
    LREF = 1000
    CALL DRANDGEOMETRICREFERENCE(P,REF,LREF,INFO)

C Generate N variates from the Geometric distribution
    CALL DRANDGENERALDISCRETE(N,REF,STATE,X,INFO)

C Print the results
    WRITE(6,*) (X(I),I=1,N)
