The Flat (Uniform) Distribution¶
-
gsl_ran_flat
(a, b)¶ This function returns a random variate from the flat (uniform) distribution from
a
tob
. The distribution is,\[p(x) dx = {1 \over (b-a)} dx\]if \(a \leq x < b\) and \(0\) otherwise.
-
gsl_ran_flat_pdf
(x, a, b)¶ This function computes the probability density \(p(x)\) at \(x\) for a uniform distribution from
a
tob
, using the formula given above.
-
gsl_cdf_flat_P
(x, a, b)¶
-
gsl_cdf_flat_Q
(x, a, b)¶
-
gsl_cdf_flat_Pinv
(P, a, b)¶
-
gsl_cdf_flat_Qinv
(Q, a, b)¶ These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions \(P(x), Q(x)\) and their inverses for a uniform distribution from
a
tob
.
