Constructor Detail

DistExponential

public DistExponential(StreamInterface stream,
                       double mean)
constructs a new exponential function. The exponential distribution describes the interarrival times of "cutomers" to a system that occur at a constant rate.

Parameters:
stream - the numberstream
mean - the mean (mean>0)
Method Detail

draw

public double draw()
Description copied from class: DistContinuous
draws the next stream value according to the probability of this this distribution.

Specified by:
draw in class DistContinuous
Returns:
the next double value drawn.
See Also:
DistContinuous.draw()

probDensity

public double probDensity(double observation)
Description copied from class: DistContinuous
returns the propbability density value of an observation

Specified by:
probDensity in class DistContinuous
Parameters:
observation - the observation.
Returns:
double the probability density.
See Also:
#probDensity(double)

toString

public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class Object
