Class GumbelGen

java.lang.Object

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RandomVariateGen

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.GumbelGen

public class GumbelGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements methods for generating random variates from the Gumbel distribution. Its density is given by

f (x) = e^-ze^-e-z/| β|, for - ∞ < x < ∞.

where we use the notation z = (x - δ)/β. The scale parameter β can be positive (for the Gumbel distribution) or negative (for the reverse Gumbel distribution), but not 0.

Constructor and Description
GumbelGen(RandomStream s) Creates a Gumbel random number generator with β = 1 and δ = 0 using stream s.
GumbelGen(RandomStream s, double beta, double delta) Creates a Gumbel random number generator with parameters β = beta and δ = delta using stream s.
GumbelGen(RandomStream s, GumbelDist dist) Creates a new generator for the Gumbel distribution dist and stream s.
