Class ExponentialGen

java.lang.Object

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RandomVariateGen

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.ExponentialGen

public class ExponentialGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators for the exponential distribution. The density is

f (x) = λe^-λx for x >= 0,

where λ > 0.

The (non-static) nextDouble method simply calls inverseF on the distribution.
