Detailed Description

The log-normal 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 log-normal distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various log-normal distributions.

LogNormalRandomVariable defines a random variable with a log-normal distribution. If one takes the natural logarithm of random variable following the log-normal distribution, the obtained values follow a normal distribution.

The probability density function is defined over the interval [0, $+\infty$ ) as: $\frac{1}{x\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{-\frac{(ln(x) - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}$ where $mean = e^{\mu+\frac{\sigma^2}{2}}$ and $variance = (e^{\sigma^2}-1)e^{2\mu+\sigma^2}$

The $\mu$ and $\sigma$ parameters can be calculated instead if the mean and variance are known with the following equations: $\mu = ln(mean) - \frac{1}{2}ln\left(1+\frac{variance}{mean^2}\right)$ , and, $\sigma = \sqrt{ln\left(1+\frac{variance}{mean^2}\right)}$

Here is an example of how to use this class:

double mu = 5.0;
double sigma = 2.0;
 
Ptr<LogNormalRandomVariable> x = CreateObject<LogNormalRandomVariable> ();
x->SetAttribute ("Mu", DoubleValue (mu));
x->SetAttribute ("Sigma", DoubleValue (sigma));
 
// The expected value for the mean of the values returned by a
// log-normally distributed random variable is equal to
//
//                             2
//                   mu + sigma  / 2
//     E[value]  =  e                 .
//
double value = x->GetValue ();

◆ GetInteger() [1/2]

uint32_t ns3::LogNormalRandomVariable::GetInteger ( )

overridevirtual

Returns a random unsigned integer from a log-normal distribution with the current mu and sigma.

Returns: A random unsigned integer value.

Note that antithetic values are being generated if m_isAntithetic is equal to true. If $u1$ and $u2$ are uniform variables over [0,1], then the value that would be returned normally, $x$ , is calculated as follows:

$\begin{eqnarray*} v1 & = & -1 + 2 * u1 \\ v2 & = & -1 + 2 * u2 \\ r2 & = & v1 * v1 + v2 * v2 \\ normal & = & v1 * \sqrt{\frac{-2.0 * \log{r2}}{r2}} \\ x & = & \exp{sigma * normal + mu} . \end{eqnarray*}$

For the antithetic case, $(1 - u1$ ) and $(1 - u2$ ) are the distances that $u1$ and $u2$ would be from $1$ . The antithetic value returned, $x'$ , is calculated as follows:

$\begin{eqnarray*} v1' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u1) \\ v2' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u2) \\ r2' & = & v1' * v1' + v2' * v2' \\ normal' & = & v1' * \sqrt{\frac{-2.0 * \log{r2'}}{r2'}} \\ x' & = & \exp{sigma * normal' + mu} . \end{eqnarray*}$

which now involves the distances $u1$ and $u2$ are from 1.

◆ GetInteger() [2/2]

uint32_t ns3::LogNormalRandomVariable::GetInteger	(	uint32_t	mu,

Returns a random unsigned integer from a log-normal distribution with the specified mu and sigma.

Parameters

[in]	mu	Mu value for the log-normal distribution.
[in]	sigma	Sigma value for the log-normal distribution.

Returns: A random unsigned integer value.

Note that antithetic values are being generated if m_isAntithetic is equal to true. If $u1$ and $u2$ are uniform variables over [0,1], then the value that would be returned normally, $x$ , is calculated as follows:

For the antithetic case, $(1 - u1$ ) and $(1 - u2$ ) are the distances that $u1$ and $u2$ would be from $1$ . The antithetic value returned, $x'$ , is calculated as follows:

$\begin{eqnarray*} v1' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u1) \\ v2' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u2) \\ r2' & = & v1' * v1' + v2' * v2' \\ normal' & = & v1' * \sqrt{\frac{-2.0 * \log{r2'}}{r2'}} \\ x' & = & \exp{sigma * normal' + mu} . \end{eqnarray*}$

Returns a random double from a log-normal distribution with the current mu and sigma.

Returns: A floating point random value.

Note that antithetic values are being generated if m_isAntithetic is equal to true. If $u1$ and $u2$ are uniform variables over [0,1], then the value that would be returned normally, $x$ , is calculated as follows:

$\begin{eqnarray*} v1 & = & -1 + 2 * u1 \\ v2 & = & -1 + 2 * u2 \\ r2 & = & v1 * v1 + v2 * v2 \\ normal & = & v1 * \sqrt{\frac{-2.0 * \log{r2}}{r2}} \\ x & = & \exp{sigma * normal + mu} . \end{eqnarray*}$

For the antithetic case, $(1 - u1$ ) and $(1 - u2$ ) are the distances that $u1$ and $u2$ would be from $1$ . The antithetic value returned, $x'$ , is calculated as follows:

$\begin{eqnarray*} v1' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u1) \\ v2' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u2) \\ r2' & = & v1' * v1' + v2' * v2' \\ normal' & = & v1' * \sqrt{\frac{-2.0 * \log{r2'}}{r2'}} \\ x' & = & \exp{sigma * normal' + mu} . \end{eqnarray*}$

which now involves the distances $u1$ and $u2$ are from 1.

Note that we have to re-implement this method here because the method is overloaded above for the two-argument variant and the c++ name resolution rules don't work well with overloads split between parent and child classes.

Returns: A floating point random value.

Note that antithetic values are being generated if m_isAntithetic is equal to true. If $u1$ and $u2$ are uniform variables over [0,1], then the value that would be returned normally, $x$ , is calculated as follows:

$\begin{eqnarray*} v1 & = & -1 + 2 * u1 \\ v2 & = & -1 + 2 * u2 \\ r2 & = & v1 * v1 + v2 * v2 \\ normal & = & v1 * \sqrt{\frac{-2.0 * \log{r2}}{r2}} \\ x & = & \exp{sigma * normal + mu} . \end{eqnarray*}$

For the antithetic case, $(1 - u1$ ) and $(1 - u2$ ) are the distances that $u1$ and $u2$ would be from $1$ . The antithetic value returned, $x'$ , is calculated as follows:

$\begin{eqnarray*} v1' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u1) \\ v2' & = & -1 + 2 * (1 - u2) \\ r2' & = & v1' * v1' + v2' * v2' \\ normal' & = & v1' * \sqrt{\frac{-2.0 * \log{r2'}}{r2'}} \\ x' & = & \exp{sigma * normal' + mu} . \end{eqnarray*}$

which now involves the distances $u1$ and $u2$ are from 1.
