Class ErlangGen

java.lang.Object
  extended by umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RandomVariateGen

          extended by umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.ErlangGen
Direct Known Subclasses:
ErlangConvolutionGen

public class ErlangGen
extends GammaGen

This class implements random variate generators for the Erlang distribution with parameters k > 0 and λ > 0. This Erlang random variable is the sum of k exponentials with parameter λ and has mean k/λ.

The (non-static) nextDouble method simply calls inverseF on the distribution.


Constructor Summary
ErlangGen(RandomStream s, ErlangDist dist)
          Creates a new generator for the distribution dist and stream s.
ErlangGen(RandomStream s, int k)
          Creates an Erlang random variate generator with parameters k and λ = 1, using stream s.
ErlangGen(RandomStream s, int k, double lambda)
          Creates an Erlang random variate generator with parameters k and λ = lambda, using stream s.
 
Method Summary
 int getK()
          Returns the parameter k of this object.
static double nextDouble(RandomStream s, int k, double lambda)
          Generates a new variate from the Erlang distribution with parameters k = k and λ = lambda, using stream s.
