oneapi::mkl::rng::laplace
Generates random numbers with Laplace distribution.
Description
The
. The scalefactor value determines the standard deviation as
oneapi::mkl::rng::laplace
class object is used in the
oneapi::mkl::rng::generate
function to provide random numbers with Laplace distribution with mean value (or average) a
and scalefactor ( b
, β
), where 

The probability density function is given by:

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:
