The Flat (Uniform) Distribution¶
-
gsl_ran_flat(a, b)¶
This function returns a random variate from the flat (uniform) distribution from
atob. The distribution is,\[p(x) dx = {1 \over (b-a)} dx\]if \(a \leq x < b\) and \(0\) otherwise.
-
gsl_ran_flat_pdf(x, a, b)¶
This function computes the probability density \(p(x)\) at \(x\) for a uniform distribution from
atob, using the formula given above.
-
gsl_cdf_flat_P(x, a, b)¶
-
gsl_cdf_flat_Q(x, a, b)¶
-
gsl_cdf_flat_Pinv(P, a, b)¶
-
gsl_cdf_flat_Qinv(Q, a, b)¶
These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions \(P(x), Q(x)\) and their inverses for a uniform distribution from
atob.
