binomial

Class is used for generation of binomially distributed integer types random numbers.

Description

The class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate() function to provide random numbers binomially distributed with a number of independent Bernoulli trials \(m\), and with probability \(p\) of a single trial success, where \(p \in R; 0 \leq p \leq 1, m \in N\).

A binomially distributed variate represents the number of successes in \(m\) independent Bernoulli trials with probability of a single trial success \(p\).

The probability distribution is given by:

\[P(X = k) = C^k_{m}p^k(1 - p)^{m - k}, k \in \{0, 1, ... , m\}\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{m, p}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} 0, x < 0 \\ \sum^{\lfloor x \rfloor}_{k = 0} C^k_{m}p^k(1 - p)^{m - k}, 0 \leq x < m, x \in R \\ 1, x \ge m \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

};
}

Template parameters
