beta#

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

Description

The class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate() function to provide random numbers beta distributed with shape parameters \(p\) and \(q\), displacement \(\alpha\) and scale parameter \((b, \beta)\), where \(p\), \(q\). \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) \(\in R; p > 0; q > 0; \beta > 0\).

The probability distribution is given by:

\[\begin{split}f_{p, q, \alpha, \beta}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{1}{B(p, q) * \beta^{p + q - 1}}(x - a)^{p - 1}*(\beta + \alpha - x)^{q - 1}, \alpha \leq x < \alpha + \beta \\ 0, x < \alpha, x \ge \alpha + \beta \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{a, b}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} 0, x < \alpha \\ \int^x_{\alpha}\frac{1}{B(p, q) * \beta^{p + q - 1}}(y - \alpha)^{p - 1}*(\beta + \alpha - y)^{q - 1}dy, \alpha \leq x < \alpha + \beta, x \in R \\ 1, x \ge \alpha + \beta \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

Where \(B(p, 1)\) is the complete beta function.
