mx::math::laplace_distribution< _RealType > Class Template Reference

template<typename _RealType = double>
class mx::math::laplace_distribution< _RealType >

The Laplace (double exponential) continuous distribution for random numbers.

The formula for the exponential probability density function is \(p(x|\lambda) = \frac{\lambda}{2} e^{-\lambda x}\).

Distribution Statistics

Mean	\(0\)
Median	\(0\)
Mode	\(0\)
Range	\([-\infty, \infty]\)
Standard Deviation	\(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\lambda}\)

This is based on the implementation of the exponential distribution in the GNU ISO C++ Library version 4.6.

Tests:

• Verify compilation and basic operation of randomT with the Laplace distribution [test doc]
