oneapi::mkl::rng::device::lognormal
Generates lognormally distributed random numbers.
Description
The oneapi::mkl::rng::device::lognormal class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::device::generate function to provide random numbers with average of distribution (m, a) and standard deviation (s, 
) of subject normal distribution, displacement (displ, b), and scalefactor (scale, 
), where 
.
The probability density function is given by:
 
   The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

Template Parameters
typename RealType  |  
        Type of the produced values. The specific values are as follows: float double  |  
       
typename Method  |  
        Generation method. The specific values are as follows: oneapi::mkl::rng::device::lognormal_method::box_muller2  |  
       
Note: To enable oneapi::mkl::rng::device::lognormal_method::box_muller2 based on Vector Math functions, define the MKL_RNG_USE_BINARY_CODE macro and link static oneMKL libraries according to the output produced by Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library Link Line Advisor. It may improve performance on some hardware.
