Struct rand_distr::Zeta[][src]

pub struct Zeta<F> where
    F: Float,
    Standard: Distribution<F>,
    OpenClosed01: Distribution<F>, 
{ /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description

Samples integers according to the zeta distribution.

The zeta distribution is a limit of the Zipf distribution. Sometimes it is called one of the following: discrete Pareto, Riemann-Zeta, Zipf, or Zipf–Estoup distribution.

It has the density function f(k) = k^(-a) / C(a) for k >= 1, where a is the parameter and C(a) is the Riemann zeta function.

Example

use rand::prelude::*;
use rand_distr::Zeta;

let val: f64 = thread_rng().sample(Zeta::new(1.5).unwrap());
println!("{}", val);

Remarks

The zeta distribution has no upper limit. Sampled values may be infinite. In particular, a value of infinity might be returned for the following reasons:

  1. it is the best representation in the type F of the actual sample.
  2. to prevent infinite loops for very small a.

Implementation details

We are using the algorithm from Non-Uniform Random Variate Generation, Section 6.1, page 551.
