Gamma distribution
Random number distribution that produces floating-point values according to a gamma distribution, which is described by the following probability density function:



This distribution can be interpreted as the aggregation of α exponential distributions, each with β as parameter. It is often used to model waiting times.

The distribution parameters, alpha and beta, are set on construction.

To produce a random value following this distribution, call its member function operator().

Template parameters

RealType
A floating-point type. Aliased as member type result_type.
By default, this is double.

Member types

The following aliases are member types of gamma_distribution:

member typedefinitionnotes
result_typeThe first template parameter (RealType)The type of the numbers generated (defaults to double)
param_typenot specifiedThe type returned by member param.

// gamma_distribution
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
int main()
{
 const int nrolls=10000; // number of experiments
 const int nstars=100; // maximum number of stars to distribute
 std::default_random_engine generator;
 std::gamma_distribution<double> distribution(2.0,2.0);
 int p[10]={};
 for (int i=0; i<nrolls; ++i) {
 double number = distribution(generator);
 if (number<10) ++p[int(number)];
 }
 std::cout << "gamma_distribution (2.0,2.0):" << std::endl;
 for (int i=0; i<10; ++i) {
 std::cout << i << "-" << (i+1) << ": ";
 std::cout << std::string(p[i]*nstars/nrolls,'*') << std::endl;
 }
 return 0;
}

Possible output:
gamma_distribution (2.0,2.0):
0-1: *********
1-2: *****************
2-3: ******************
3-4: **************
4-5: ************
5-6: *********
6-7: *****
7-8: ****
8-9: ***
9-10: **
