Constructors

LaplaceDistribution()

Initializes a new instance of the LaplaceDistribution class, using a StandardGenerator as underlying random number generator.

Declaration
public LaplaceDistribution()

LaplaceDistribution(Generator)

Initializes a new instance of the LaplaceDistribution class, using the specified Generator as underlying random number generator.

Declaration
public LaplaceDistribution(Generator generator)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Generator generator

A Generator object.

Properties

Alpha

Declaration
public double Alpha { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

The alpha.
Remarks

Call IsValidAlpha(Double) to determine whether a value is valid and therefor assignable.

Maximum

Gets the maximum possible value of laplace distributed random numbers.

Declaration
public override double Maximum { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

The maximum.
Overrides

Mean

Gets the mean value of laplace distributed random numbers.

Declaration

System.Double[]

The mode.
Overrides

Mu

Gets or sets the parameter mu which is used for generation of laplace distributed random numbers.

Declaration
public double Mu { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

The mu.
Remarks

Call IsValidMu(Double) to determine whether a value is valid and therefor assignable.
