Syntax

public class GeometricDistribution : Distribution

Remarks

The geometric distribution generates only discrete numbers.
The implementation of the GeometricDistribution type bases upon information presented on Wikipedia - Geometric distribution.

Constructors

GeometricDistribution()

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

Declaration

public GeometricDistribution()

GeometricDistribution(Generator)

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

Declaration

public GeometricDistribution(Generator generator)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Generator	generator	A Generator object.

Properties

Alpha

Gets or sets the parameter alpha which is used for generation of geometric distributed random numbers.

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 geometric distributed random numbers.

Declaration

public override double Maximum { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double	The maximum.

Overrides

Distribution.Maximum

Mean

Gets the mean value of geometric distributed random numbers.

Declaration

public override double Mean { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double	The mean.

Overrides

Distribution.Mean

Median

Gets the median of geometric distributed random numbers.

Declaration

public override double Median { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double	The median.

Overrides

Distribution.Median

Minimum

Gets the minimum possible value of geometric distributed random numbers.

Declaration

public override double Minimum { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double	The minimum.

Overrides

Distribution.Minimum

Mode

Gets the mode of geometric distributed random numbers.

Declaration

public override double[] Mode { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double[]	The mode.

Overrides

Distribution.Mode

Variance

Gets the variance of geometric distributed random numbers.

Declaration

public override double Variance { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double	The variance.

Overrides

Distribution.Variance

Methods

IsValidAlpha(Double)

Determines whether the specified value is valid for parameter Alpha.

Declaration

public bool IsValidAlpha(double value)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Double	value	The value to check.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if value is greater than 0.0, and less than or equal to 1.0; otherwise, false.

Next()

Returns a geometric distributed random number.

Declaration

public int Next()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Int32	A geometric distributed 32-bit signed integer.

NextDouble()

Returns a geometric distributed floating point random number.

Declaration

public override double NextDouble()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Double	A geometric distributed double-precision floating point number.

Overrides

Distribution.NextDouble()
