Constructor Detail

Rayleigh

public Rayleigh()

Default constructor. The scale parameter is set to one.

Rayleigh

public Rayleigh(double s)

Create a distribution with the scale parameter.

Parameters:

s - the scale parameter.

Method Detail

cumulativeProbability

public double cumulativeProbability(double x)

The CDF for this distribution. This method returns P(X < x).

Specified by:

cumulativeProbability in class ContinuousDistribution

Parameters:

x - the value at which the CDF is evaluated.

Returns:

CDF for this distribution.

getScale

public double getScale()

Access the scale parameter.

Returns:

the scale parameter.

inverseCumulativeProbability

public double inverseCumulativeProbability(double p)

The inverse CDF for this distribution. This method returns x such that, P(X < x) = p.

Specified by:

inverseCumulativeProbability in class ContinuousDistribution

Parameters:

p - the cumulative probability.

Returns:

x

setScale

public void setScale(double s)

Modify the scale parameter.

Parameters:

s - The new scale parameter value.
