rayleigh#

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

Description

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

The Rayleigh distribution is a special case of the weibull distribution, where the shape parameter alpha = 2 .

The probability distribution is given by:

\[\begin{split}f_{a, \beta}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{2(x - a)}{\beta^2}exp(-\frac{(x - a)^2)}{\beta^2}), x \ge a \\ 0, x < a \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{a, \beta}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} 1 - exp(-\frac{(x - a)^2)}{\beta^2}), x \ge a \\ 0, x < a \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]
