      extended by umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.CauchyGen

public class CauchyGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators for the Cauchy distribution. The density is

f (x) = β/(π[(x - α)2 + β2]) for - ∞ < x < ∞,

where β > 0.

No local copy of the parameters α and β is maintained in this class. The (non-static) nextDouble method simply calls inverseF on the distribution.


Constructor Summary
CauchyGen(RandomStream s, CauchyDist dist)
          Create a new generator for the distribution dist, using stream s.
 
Method Summary
 double nextDouble()
          Generates a random number from the continuous distribution contained in this object.
static double nextDouble(RandomStream s, double alpha, double beta)
          Generates a new variate from the Cauchy distribution with parameters α = alpha and β = beta, using stream s.

Constructor Detail

CauchyGen

public CauchyGen(RandomStream s,
                 CauchyDist dist)
Create a new generator for the distribution dist, using stream s.

Method Detail

nextDouble

public double nextDouble()
Description copied from class: RandomVariateGen
Generates a random number from the continuous distribution contained in this object. By default, this method uses inversion by calling the inverseF method of the distribution object. Alternative generating methods are provided in subclasses.

Overrides:
nextDouble in class RandomVariateGen
Returns:
the generated value

nextDouble

public static double nextDouble(RandomStream s,
                                double alpha,
                                double beta)
Generates a new variate from the Cauchy distribution with parameters α = alpha and β = beta, using stream s.
