Description

Instantiations of class template lognormal_distribution model a random distribution . Such a distribution produces random numbers with for x > 0.

[Warning] Warning

This distribution has been updated to match the C++ standard. Its behavior has changed from the original boost::lognormal_distribution. A backwards compatible version is provided in namespace boost.

lognormal_distribution public construct/copy/destruct

  1. explicit lognormal_distribution(RealType m = 0.0, RealType s = 1.0);

    Constructs a lognormal_distribution. m and s are the parameters of the distribution.

  2. explicit lognormal_distribution(const param_type & param);

    Constructs a lognormal_distribution from its parameters.

lognormal_distribution public member functions

  1. RealType m() const;

    Returns the m parameter of the distribution.

  2. RealType s() const;

    Returns the s parameter of the distribution.

  3. RealType min() const;

    Returns the smallest value that the distribution can produce.

  4. RealType max() const;

    Returns the largest value that the distribution can produce.

  5. param_type param() const;

    Returns the parameters of the distribution.

  6. void param(const param_type & param);

    Sets the parameters of the distribution.

  7. void reset();

    Effects: Subsequent uses of the distribution do not depend on values produced by any engine prior to invoking reset.

  8. template<typename Engine> result_type operator()(Engine & eng);

    Returns a random variate distributed according to the lognormal distribution.

  9. template<typename Engine> 
      result_type operator()(Engine & eng, const param_type & param);

    Returns a random variate distributed according to the lognormal distribution with parameters specified by param.

lognormal_distribution friend functions

  1. template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
      friend std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & 
      operator<<(std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & os, 
                 const lognormal_distribution & ld);

    Writes the distribution to a std::ostream.

  2. template<typename CharT, typename Traits> 
      friend std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & 
      operator>>(std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & is, 
                 const lognormal_distribution & ld);

    Reads the distribution from a std::istream.

  3. friend bool operator==(const lognormal_distribution & lhs, 
                           const lognormal_distribution & rhs);

    Returns true if the two distributions will produce identical sequences of values given equal generators.

  4. friend bool operator!=(const lognormal_distribution & lhs, 
                           const lognormal_distribution & rhs);

    Returns true if the two distributions may produce different sequences of values given equal generators.
