Constructors

PowerDistribution()

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

Declaration
public PowerDistribution()

PowerDistribution(Generator)

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

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

A Generator object.

Properties

Alpha

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

The beta.
Remarks

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