Detailed Description

The zeta 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 zeta distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various zeta distributions.

The Zeta distribution is related to Zipf distribution by letting $N \rightarrow \infty$.

Zeta distribution has one parameter, Alpha, $ \alpha > 1 $ (real). (Note the Wikipedia entry for the Zeta Distribution uses the symbol $s$ instead of $\alpha$.) The probability mass Function is

\[
     P(k; \alpha) = k^{-\alpha}/\zeta(\alpha)
  \]

where $ \zeta(\alpha) $ is the Riemann zeta function

\[
    \zeta(\alpha) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^\alpha}
  \]

Note the Zeta distribution is a discrete distribution, so the returned values $k$ will always be integers in the range $k \in {1,2 \dots} $.

The mean value of the distribution is

\[
      \mu = \frac{\zeta(\alpha - 1)}{\zeta(\alpha)}, \quad \alpha > 2
   \]

The Zeta RNG $x$ is generated by an accept-reject algorithm; see the implementation of GetValue(double).

Example

Here is an example of how to use this class:

double alpha = 2.0;
Ptr<ZetaRandomVariable> x = CreateObject<ZetaRandomVariable> ();
x->SetAttribute ("Alpha", DoubleValue (alpha));
double value = x->GetValue ();
This class can be used to hold variables of floating point type such as 'double' or 'float'.
Definition: double.h:42
Smart pointer class similar to boost::intrusive_ptr.
Definition: ptr.h:78
Antithetic Values.

If an instance of this RNG is configured to return antithetic values, the actual value returned, $x'$, is generated by using $ 1 - u $ instead. of $u$ on [0, 1].
