Struct rand_distr::Geometric

pub struct Geometric { /* fields omitted */ }

The geometric distribution Geometric(p) bounded to [0, u64::MAX].

This is the probability distribution of the number of failures before the first success in a series of Bernoulli trials. It has the density function f(k) = (1 - p)^k p for k >= 0, where p is the probability of success on each trial.

This is the discrete analogue of the exponential distribution.

Note that StandardGeometric is an optimised implementation for p = 0.5.

Example

use rand_distr::{Geometric, Distribution};

let geo = Geometric::new(0.25).unwrap();
let v = geo.sample(&mut rand::thread_rng());
println!("{} is from a Geometric(0.25) distribution", v);
