The exponential distribution Random Number Generator (RNG).
This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed exponential distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various exponential distributions.
The probability density function of an exponential variable is defined as:
where and is the Mean
configurable attribute. This distribution has variance .
The exponential RNG value is generated by
where is a uniform random variable on [0,1).
Since the exponential distributions can theoretically return unbounded values, it is sometimes useful to specify a fixed upper Bound
. The bounded version is defined over the interval as:
Note that in this case the true mean of the distribution is smaller than the nominal mean value:
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:
where is a uniform random variable on [0,1).
ns3::ExponentialRandomVariable is accessible through the following paths with Config::Set and Config::Connect:
No TraceSources are defined for this type.
