gamrnd

Description

Generates an array of random numbers from a distribution, seeds and generator number passed explicitly

Syntax

int gamrnd( double * v, uint n, double a, double b )

Parameters

v

[output] Pointer to a double array, which contain the results

n

[input] The number of pseudo-random numbers to be generated. n>=1

a

[input] The parameter, a, of the gamma distribution

b

[input] The parameter, b, of the gamma distribution

Return

Return NE_NOERROR(0) on success, otherwise error.

Examples

EX1

//This example is to generate pseudo-random numbers from a ?? distribution
int gamrnd_ex1()
{
    int n = 10;
    vector v( n );
    double a =5.0, b=1.0;
        
    int nRet = gamrnd( v, n, a, b);
 
    if(0 != nRet)
        return 0;
    
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
        printf("v[%d]: %f\n",i, v[i]);

    return 1;
}
