Struct Exp1

pub struct Exp1;

The standard exponential distribution Exp(1).

This is equivalent to Exp::new(1.0) or sampling with -rng.gen::<f64>().ln(), but faster.

See Exp for the general exponential distribution.

Plot

The following plot illustrates the exponential distribution with λ = 1.

Example

use rand::prelude::*;
use rand_distr::Exp1;

let val: f64 = rand::rng().sample(Exp1);
println!("{}", val);

Notes

Implemented via the ZIGNOR variant¹ of the Ziggurat method. The exact description in the paper was adjusted to use tables for the exponential distribution rather than normal.
