Class FrechetGen

java.lang.Object

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RandomVariateGen

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.FrechetGen

public class FrechetGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements methods for generating random variates from the Fréchet distribution, with location parameter δ, scale parameter β > 0, and shape parameter α > 0, where we use the notation z = (x - δ)/β. It has density

f (x) = αe^-z-α/(βz^α+1), for x > δ

The density is 0 for x <= δ.
