Struct rand_distr::Cauchy

pub struct Cauchy<F> where
    F: Float + FloatConst,
    Standard: Distribution<F>,  { /* fields omitted */ }

The Cauchy distribution Cauchy(median, scale).

This distribution has a density function: f(x) = 1 / (pi * scale * (1 + ((x - median) / scale)^2))

Note that at least for f32, results are not fully portable due to minor differences in the target system's tan implementation, tanf.

Example

use rand_distr::{Cauchy, Distribution};

let cau = Cauchy::new(2.0, 5.0).unwrap();
let v = cau.sample(&mut rand::thread_rng());
println!("{} is from a Cauchy(2, 5) distribution", v);
