      umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RayleighGen

public class RayleighGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators for the Rayleigh distribution. Its density is

f (x)	=	(x-a) e-(x-a)2/(2β2)/β2 for x >= a
f (x)	=	0 for x < a,

where β > 0.

Constructor Summary

RayleighGen(RandomStream s, double beta)
Creates a Rayleigh random variate generator with parameters a = 0 and β = beta, using stream s.

RayleighGen(RandomStream s, double a, double beta)
Creates a Rayleigh random variate generator with parameters a = a and β = beta, using stream s.

RayleighGen(RandomStream s, RayleighDist dist)
Creates a new generator for the Rayleigh distribution dist and stream s.

Method Summary

double	getA() Returns the parameter a.
double	getSigma() Returns the parameter β.
static double	nextDouble(RandomStream s, double a, double beta) Uses inversion to generate a new variate from the Rayleigh distribution with parameters a = a and β = beta, using stream s.
void	setParams(double a, double beta) Sets the parameters a = a and β = beta for this object.
