Class ExponentialPower

  cern.colt.PersistentObject

All Implemented Interfaces:: Cloneable, DoubleFunction, IntFunction, Serializable

public class ExponentialPower
extends AbstractContinousDistribution

Exponential Power distribution.

Valid parameter ranges: tau >= 1.

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.

Implementation:

Method: Non-universal rejection method for logconcave densities.

This is a port of epd.c from the C-RAND / WIN-RAND library. C-RAND's implementation, in turn, is based upon

L. Devroye (1986): Non-Uniform Random Variate Generation , Springer Verlag, New York.

Constructor Summary
`ExponentialPower(double tau, RandomEngine randomGenerator)` Constructs an Exponential Power distribution.

Method Summary
`double`	`nextDouble()` Returns a random number from the distribution.
`double`	`nextDouble(double tau)` Returns a random number from the distribution; bypasses the internal state.
`void`	`setState(double tau)` Sets the distribution parameter.
`static double`	`staticNextDouble(double tau)` Returns a random number from the distribution.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a String representation of the receiver.
