public class ExponentialDistribution : ContinuousDistribution

The ExponentialDistribution type exposes the following members.

Constructors
 NameDescription
Public methodExponentialDistribution Initializes a new instance of the ExponentialDistribution class, using a StandardGenerator as underlying random number generator.
Public methodExponentialDistribution(Double) Initializes a new instance of the ExponentialDistribution class, using the default random number generator.
Public methodExponentialDistribution(Generator) Initializes a new instance of the ExponentialDistribution class, using the specified Generator as underlying random number generator.
Public methodExponentialDistribution(Double, Generator) Initializes a new instance of the ExponentialDistribution class, using the specified Generator as underlying random number generator.

Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyCanReset Gets a value indicating whether the random number distribution can be reset, so that it produces the same random number sequence again.
(Inherited from Distribution)
Public propertyGenerator Gets or sets a Generator object that can be used as underlying random number generator.
(Inherited from Distribution)
Public propertyLambda Gets or sets the parameter lambda which is used for generation of exponential distributed random numbers.
Public propertyMaximum Gets the maximum possible value of exponential distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMaximum)
Public propertyMean Gets the mean value of exponential distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMean)
Public propertyMedian Gets the median of exponential distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMedian)
Public propertyMinimum Gets the minimum possible value of exponential distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMinimum)
Public propertyMode Gets the mode of exponential distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMode)
Public propertyVariance Gets the variance of exponential distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionVariance)

Remarks
The implementation of the ExponentialDistribution type bases upon information presented on Wikipedia - Exponential distribution.
C#
Return exponentially distributed random deviates according to:

p (x) = lambda * exp(-lambda x) dx   for x >= 0
 l
      = 0                    otherwise

The probability density has mean = stdev = 1/lambda.
