Class TriangularGen

      umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.TriangularGen

public class TriangularGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators for the triangular distribution. Its density is

f (x) =	2(x - a)/[(b - a)(m - a)]	for a <= x <= m,
f (x) =	2(b - x)/[(b - a)(b - m)]	for m <= x <= b,
f (x) =	0	elsewhere,

where a <= m <= b (see, e.g.,).

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

Constructor Summary

TriangularGen(RandomStream s, double m)
Creates a triangular random variate generator over the interval (0, 1), with parameter m, using stream s.

TriangularGen(RandomStream s, double a, double b, double m)
Creates a triangular random variate generator over the interval (a, b), with parameter m, using stream s.

TriangularGen(RandomStream s, TriangularDist dist)
Creates a new generator for the triangular distribution dist and stream s.

Method Summary

double	getA() Returns the value of a for this object.
double	getB() Returns the value of b for this object.
double	getM() Returns the value of m for this object.
static double	nextDouble(RandomStream s, double a, double b, double m) Generates a new variate from the triangular distribution with parameters a = a, b = b and m = m and stream s, using inversion.
