oneapi::mkl::rng::weibull

Generates Weibull distributed random numbers.

Description

The oneapi::mkl::rng::weibull class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate function to provide Weibull distributed random numbers with displacement a, scalefactor β, and shape \alpha, where \alpha, \beta, a \in R ; \alpha > 0, \beta > 0.

The probability density function is given by:

F_{a, \alpha, \beta}(x) =
\begin{cases}
   \frac{\alpha}{\beta^\alpha} (x - a)^{\alpha - 1} \exp \left( - {\left( \frac{x-a}{\beta} \right)}^{\alpha} \right), & x \geq a \\
   0, & x < a
\end{cases}

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

F_{a, \alpha, \beta}(x) =
\begin{cases}
   1 - \exp \left( - {\left( \frac{x-a}{\beta} \right)}^{\alpha} \right), & x \geq a \\
   0, & x < a
\end{cases},
- \infty < x < + \infty
