geometric#

Class is used for generation of geometrically distributed integer types random numbers.

Description

The class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate() function to provide random numbers geometrically distributed with probability \(p\) of a single success trial, where \(p \in R; 0 < p < 1\).

The probability distribution is given by:

\[P(X = k) = p * (1 - p)^k, k = \{0, 1, 2, ... \}.\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{p}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} 0, x < 0 \\ 1 - (1 - p)^{\lfloor x + 1 \rfloor}, x \ge 0 \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

Syntax

namespace oneapi::mkl::rng {
template<typename IntType = std::int32_t, typename Method = geometric_method::by_default>
class geometric {
public:
    using method_type = Method;
    using result_type = IntType;
    geometric();
    explicit geometric(float p);
    float p() const;
};
}

Template parameters

typename IntType
