class ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >

Implementation class for the RandomFunction for all the engined that derives from TRandomEngine class, which defines an interface which has TRandomEngine::Rndm() In this way we can have a common implementation for the RandomFunctions.

◆ Binomial()

Int_t ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::Binomial ( int  ntot,
double  prob 
)

Generate binomial numbers.

Definition at line 27 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ BreitWigner()

Double_t ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::BreitWigner ( double  mean,
double  gamma 
)

Return a number distributed following a BreitWigner function with mean and gamma.

Definition at line 41 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ Circle()

void ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::Circle ( double &  x,
double &  y,
double  r 
)

Generates random vectors, uniformly distributed over a circle of given radius.

Input : r = circle radius Output: x,y a random 2-d vector of length r

Definition at line 55 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ Exp()

Returns an exponential deviate.

exp( -t/tau )

Definition at line 67 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ Gaus()

double  sigma 
)

Definition at line 132 of file RandomFunctions.h.

◆ GausACR()

double ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::GausACR ( double  mean,
double  sigma 
)

generate random numbers according to the Accemptance-Complemet-Ratio method

Definition at line 96 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ GausBM()

double ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::GausBM ( double  mean,
double  sigma 
)

generate Gaussian number using Box-Muller method

Definition at line 77 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ Landau()

Double_t ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::Landau ( double  mu,
double  sigma 
)

Generate a random number following a Landau distribution with location parameter mu and scale parameter sigma: Landau( (x-mu)/sigma )

Generate a random number following a Landau distribution with location parameter mu and scale parameter sigma: Landau( (x-mu)/sigma ) Note that mu is not the mpv(most probable value) of the Landa distribution and sigma is not the standard deviation of the distribution which is not defined.

For mu =0 and sigma=1, the mpv = -0.22278

The Landau random number generation is implemented using the function landau_quantile(x,sigma), which provides the inverse of the landau cumulative distribution. landau_quantile has been converted from CERNLIB ranlan(G110).

Definition at line 191 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ Poisson()

Int_t ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::Poisson ( double  mean)

Generates a random integer N according to a Poisson law.

Prob(N) = exp(-mean)*mean^N/Factorial(N)

Prob(N) = exp(-mean)*mean^N/Factorial(N)

Use a different procedure according to the mean value. The algorithm is the same used by CLHEP. For lower value (mean < 25) use the rejection method based on the exponential. For higher values use a rejection method comparing with a Lorentzian distribution, as suggested by several authors. This routine since is returning 32 bits integer will not work for values larger than 2*10**9. One should then use the Trandom::PoissonD for such large values.

Definition at line 213 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ PoissonD()

Generates a random number according to a Poisson law.

Prob(N) = exp(-mean)*mean^N/Factorial(N)

This function is a variant of RandomFunctionsImpl<TRandomEngine>::Poisson returning a double instead of an integer.

Definition at line 265 of file RandomFunctions.cxx.

◆ Rannor()

void ROOT::Math::RandomFunctionsImpl< TRandomEngine >::Rannor ( double &  a,
double &  b 
)

Generate numbers distributed following a gaussian with mean=0 and sigma=1.

Return 2 numbers distributed following a gaussian with mean=0 and sigma=1.
