multinomial

multinomial#

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

Description

The class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate() function to provide n random numbers multinomially distributed, with independent trials \((ntrial, m)\) and possible mutually exclusive outcomes \(k\), with corresponding probabilities \(p_i\), where \(p_i \in R; 0 \leq p_i \leq 1; m, k \in N\).

The probability distribution is given by:

\[P(X_1 = x_1, ..., X_k = x_k) = \frac{m!}{\Pi^k_{i = 1}x_i!}\Pi^k_{i = 1}p_i^{x_i}, 0 \leq x_i \leq m, \sum^{k}_{i = 1}x_i = m\]

class multinomial#

Let SequenceContainerOrView be a type that can be one of C++ Sequence containers or C++ Views (span, mdspan). It’s implementation defined which type SequenceContainerOrView represents.

Syntax

namespace oneapi::mkl::rng {
template<typename IntType = std::int32_t, typename Method = multinomial_method::by_default>
class multinomial {
public:
    using method_type = Method;
    using result_type = IntType;
    explicit multinomial(double ntrial, SequenceContainerOrView<double> p);
    std::int32_t ntrial() const;
    SequenceContainerOrView<double> p() const;
};
}
