Class RandGenExponential generates random numbers from an exponential distribution.
Inheritance HierarchyNamespace: CenterSpace.NMath.Core
Assembly: NMath (in NMath.dll) Version: 7.4
SyntaxThe RandGenExponential type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | RandGenExponential | 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. |
| RandGenExponential(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. |
| RandGenExponential(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. |
| RandGenExponential(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. |
| RandGenExponential(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. |
| RandGenExponential(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. |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Lambda | Gets and sets the lambda of the exponential distribution. |

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.
