exponential

exponential#

Class is used for generation of exponentially distributed real types random numbers.

Description

The class object is used in the oneapi::math::rng::generate() function to provide random numbers exponentially distributed with displacement \(a\) and scalefactor \(\beta\), where \(a, \beta \in R; \beta > 0\).

The probability distribution is given by:

\[\begin{split}f_{a, \beta}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{1}{\beta}exp(-\frac{x - a}{\beta}), x \ge a \\ 0, x < a \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{a, \beta}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} 1 - exp(-\frac{x - a}{\beta}), x \ge a \\ 0, x < a \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

Syntax

namespace oneapi::math::rng {
template<typename RealType = float, typename Method = exponential_method::by_default>
class exponential {
public:
    using method_type = Method;
    using result_type = RealType;
    exponential();
    explicit exponential(RealType a, RealType beta);
    RealType a() const;

};
}

Template parameters
