Constructor Detail

DistGamma

public DistGamma(StreamInterface stream,
                 double alpha,
                 double beta)

constructs a new gamma distribution. The gamma distribution represents the time to complete some task, e.g. customer service or machine repair

Parameters:

stream - the numberstream

alpha - is the shape parameter alpha>0

beta - is the scale parameter beta>0

Method Detail

draw

public double draw()

Description copied from class: DistContinuous

draws the next stream value according to the probability of this this distribution.

Specified by:

draw in class DistContinuous

Returns:

the next double value drawn.

See Also:

DistContinuous.draw()

probDensity

public double probDensity(double observation)

Description copied from class: DistContinuous

returns the propbability density value of an observation

Specified by:

probDensity in class DistContinuous

Parameters:

observation - the observation.

Returns:

double the probability density.
