Detailed Description

Logarithmic normal distribution.

Synopsis

The LogNormal class implements the logaraithmic normal distribution. The mean and variance are the parameters of the distribution. The operator() functions returns a value from this distribution

It is assumed that the supplied variance is positive and an AipsError exception is thrown if this is not true. The remaining members allow you to read and set the parameters.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::LogNormal::LogNormal ( RNG gen,
Double  mean = 1.0,
Double  variance = 1.0 
)

Construct a random number generator for a log-normal distribution.

The first argument is a class that produces random bits. This pointer is NOT taken over by this class and the user is responsible for deleting it. The second and third arguments define the parameters for this distribution as described in the synopsis.

virtual casacore::LogNormal::~LogNormal ( )
virtual

The destructor is trivial.
