Detailed Description
Logarithmic normal distribution.
Synopsis
The LogNormal class implements the logaraithmic normal distribution. The mean and variance are the parameters of the distribution. The operator() functions returns a value from this distribution
It is assumed that the supplied variance is positive and an AipsError exception is thrown if this is not true. The remaining members allow you to read and set the parameters.
Example
Thrown Exceptions
- AipsError: if bad values for the arguments are given, as specified above.
To Do
- Nothing I hope!
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ LogNormal()
Construct a random number generator for a log-normal distribution.
The first argument is a class that produces random bits. This pointer is NOT taken over by this class and the user is responsible for deleting it. The second and third arguments define the parameters for this distribution as described in the synopsis.
◆ ~LogNormal()
|
virtual |
The destructor is trivial.
