Class VanDerWaerden1969

java.lang.Object

dev.nm.stat.random.rng.univariate.beta.VanDerWaerden1969

All Implemented Interfaces:

RandomBetaGenerator, RandomNumberGenerator, Seedable

Deprecated.

Cheng1978 is a much better algorithm.

@Deprecated
public class VanDerWaerden1969
extends Object
implements RandomBetaGenerator

If X and Y are independent, with X ~ Γ(α,θ) and Y ~ Γ(β,θ) then X/(X+Y) ~ Beta(α,β), so one algorithm for generating beta variates is to generate X/(X+Y), where X is a gamma variate with parameters Γ(α,1) and Y is an independent gamma variate with parameters Γ(β,1).
