The Exponential Distribution¶
-
gsl_ran_exponential
(mu)¶ This function returns a random variate from the exponential distribution with mean
mu
. The distribution is,\[p(x) dx = {1 \over \mu} \exp(-x/\mu) dx\]for \(x \geq 0\).
-
gsl_ran_exponential_pdf
(x, mu)¶ This function computes the probability density \(p(x)\) at \(x\) for an exponential distribution with mean
mu
, using the formula given above.
-
gsl_cdf_exponential_P
(x, mu)¶
-
gsl_cdf_exponential_Q
(x, mu)¶
-
gsl_cdf_exponential_Pinv
(P, mu)¶
-
gsl_cdf_exponential_Qinv
(Q, mu)¶ These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions \(P(x), Q(x)\) and their inverses for the exponential distribution with mean
mu
.
