Class WeibullGen

java.lang.Object

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RandomVariateGen

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.WeibullGen

public class WeibullGen
extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators for the Weibull distribution. Its density is

f (x) = αλ^α(x - δ)^α-1exp[- (λ(x - δ))^α] for x > δ,

and f (x) = 0 elsewhere, where α > 0, and λ > 0.

The (non-static) nextDouble method simply calls inverseF on the distribution.
