The Erlang distribution Random Number Generator (RNG) that allows stream numbers to be set deterministically.
This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed Erlang distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various Erlang distributions.
The Erlang distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution where is a positive definite integer. Erlang distributed variables can be generated using a much faster algorithm than Gamma variables.
The probability distribution is defined in terms two parameters, the K
or shape parameter , and the Lambda
or scale parameter . (Note the Wikipedia entry for the Erlang Distribution uses the parameters or . The parameters used here correspond to .)
The probability density function is:
with mean and variance .
The Erlang RNG value is generated by
where the are uniform random variables on [0,1).
Here is an example of how to use this class:
If an instance of this RNG is configured to return antithetic values, the actual value returned, , is generated as follows:
which now involves the log of the distance is from 1.
ns3::ErlangRandomVariable is accessible through the following paths with Config::Set and Config::Connect:
