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:
![\[ P(x) dx = \alpha e^{-\alpha x} dx, \quad x \in [0, +\infty) \]](form_9.png)
over the interval 
, where 
and Mean is a configurable attribute.
The normal RNG value 
is calculated by
![\[ x = - 1/\alpha \log(u) \]](form_12.png)
where 
is a uniform random variable on 
.
Since exponential distributions can theoretically return unbounded values, it is sometimes useful to specify a fixed upper limit. The bounded version is defined over the interval ![$[0,b]$](form_15.png)
as:
![\[ P(x; b) dx = \alpha e^{-\alpha x} dx \quad x \in [0,b] \]](form_16.png)
where the Bound 
is a configurable attribute.
Note that in this case the true mean of the distribution is smaller than the nominal mean value:
![\[ <X: P(x; b)> = 1/\alpha - b/(e^{\alpha \, b} -1) \]](form_18.png)
Here is an example of how to use this class:
The antithetic value is calculated from
![\[ x' = - mean * \log(1 - u), \]](form_19.png)
where again is a uniform random variable on .
