The RandGenExponential type exposes the following members.

Constructors
 NameDescription
Public methodRandGenExponential Constructs a random number generator using a RandGenMTwist as the underlying uniform random number generator. Generated random numbers will follow an exponential distribution with lambda equal 1.
Public methodRandGenExponential(Double) Constructs a random number generator using a RandGenMTwist as the underlying uniform random number generator. Generated random numbers will follow an exponential distribution with the specified lambda.
Public methodRandGenExponential(Int32) Constructs a random number generator using a seeded RandGenMTwist as the underlying uniform random number generator. Generated random numbers will follow an exponential distribution with lambda equal 1.
Public methodRandGenExponential(RandomNumberGeneratorUniformRandomNumber) Constructs a random number generator using the given delegate as the underlying uniform random number generator. Generated random numbers will follow an exponential distribution with lambda equal 1.
Public methodRandGenExponential(Double, RandomNumberGeneratorUniformRandomNumber) Constructs a random number generator using the given delegate as the underlying uniform random number generator. Generated random numbers will follow an exponential distribution with the specified lambda.
Public methodRandGenExponential(Double, Int32) Constructs a random number generator using a seeded RandGenMTwist as the underlying uniform random number generator. Generated random numbers will follow an exponential distribution with the specified lambda.

Remarks
A random variable, W, is said to have an exponential distribution if it as a probability density function g(w) = lambda*exp(-lambda*w), where lambda > 0. The mean of an exponential distribution is 1/lambda, and the variance is 1/lambda*lambda.
