Exponential (VSL_RNG_METHOD_EXPONENTIAL_ICDF/VSL_RNG_METHOD_EXPONENTIAL_ICDF_ACCURATE)

Random number generator of the exponential distribution with parameters a and β. You can generate any successive random number x of the exponential distribution by the inverse transformation method from the formula:

where u is a successive random number of a uniform distribution over the interval (0, 1).
