Struct rand::distributions::Exp1

pub struct Exp1;

Deprecated since 0.7.0:

moved to rand_distr crate

Samples floating-point numbers according to the exponential distribution, with rate parameter λ = 1. This is equivalent to Exp::new(1.0) or sampling with -rng.gen::<f64>().ln(), but faster.

See Exp for the general exponential distribution.

Implemented via the ZIGNOR variant¹ of the Ziggurat method. The exact description in the paper was adjusted to use tables for the exponential distribution rather than normal.

Trait Implementations

impl Distribution<f64> for Exp1

fn sample<R: Rng + ?Sized>(&self, rng: &mut R) -> f64

Generate a random value of T, using rng as the source of randomness.

Important traits for DistIter<D, R, T>

impl<D, R, T> Iterator for DistIter<D, R, T> where
    D: Distribution<T>,
    R: Rng,  type Item = T;

fn sample_iter<R>(self, rng: R) -> DistIter<Self, R, T> where
    R: Rng,
    Self: Sized, 

Create an iterator that generates random values of T, using rng as the source of randomness.

impl Clone for Exp1

fn clone(&self) -> Exp1

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Exp1

impl Debug for Exp1

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
