public class Exponential
extends AbstractContinousDistribution

Exponential Distribution (aka Negative Exponential Distribution); See the math definition animated definition.

p(x) = lambda*exp(-x*lambda) for x >= 0, lambda > 0.

Instance methods operate on a user supplied uniform random number generator; they are unsynchronized.

Static methods operate on a default uniform random number generator; they are synchronized.
