public class ColtExponentialPower
extends ColtRandomSource

Produce a random sequence with a ExponentialPower distribution. On each iteration, a new random number is produced. The output port is of type DoubleToken. The values that are generated are independent and identically distributed with the tau and the standard deviation given by parameters. In addition, the seed can be specified as a parameter to control the sequence that is generated.

This actor instantiates a cern.jet.random.ExponentialPower object with tau set to 1.0

Field Detail

tau

public PortParameter tau

tau. This has type double with default value 1.0.

Constructor Detail

ColtExponentialPower

public ColtExponentialPower(CompositeEntity container,
                            java.lang.String name)
                     throws NameDuplicationException,
                            IllegalActionException

Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Send a random number with a ExponentialPower distribution to the output. This number is only changed in the prefire() method, so it will remain constant throughout an iteration.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class RandomSource

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is no director.

_createdNewRandomNumberGenerator

protected void _createdNewRandomNumberGenerator()

Method that is called after _randomNumberGenerator is changed.

Specified by:

_createdNewRandomNumberGenerator in class ColtRandomSource

_generateRandomNumber

protected void _generateRandomNumber()
                              throws IllegalActionException

Generate a new random number.

Specified by:

_generateRandomNumber in class RandomSource

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If parameter values are incorrect.
