Class ChengBetaSampler

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.SamplerBase

org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.ChengBetaSampler

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContinuousSampler, SharedStateContinuousSampler, SharedStateSampler<SharedStateContinuousSampler>

public class ChengBetaSampler
extends SamplerBase
implements SharedStateContinuousSampler

Sampling from a beta distribution.

Uses Cheng's algorithms for beta distribution sampling:

R. C. H. Cheng,
"Generating beta variates with nonintegral shape parameters",
Communications of the ACM, 21, 317-322, 1978.

Sampling uses UniformRandomProvider.nextDouble().

Since:

1.0
