oneapi::mkl::rng::geometric
Generates geometrically distributed random values.
Description
The
oneapi::mkl::rng::geometric
class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate
function to provide geometrically distributed random numbers with probability p
of a single trial success, where p∈R; 0 < p < 1.
A geometrically distributed variate represents the number of
independent Bernoulli trials preceding the first success. The probability of a single Bernoulli trial success is
p
.The probability distribution is given by:
P
(X
= k
) = p
·(1 - p
)k
, k
∈
{0,1,2, … }.The cumulative distribution function is as follows:
