Class LoglogisticGen

java.lang.Object

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RandomVariateGen

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.LoglogisticGen

public class LoglogisticGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators for the log-logistic distribution with shape parameter α > 0 and scale parameter β > 0. The density function of this distribution is

f (x) = (α(x/β)^α-1)/(β[1 + (x/β)^α]²) for x > 0.

Constructor Summary
