Detailed Description

ParetoVariable distributed random var

This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed pareto distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various pareto distributions.

The probability density function is defined over the range [ $x_m$ ,+inf) as: $k \frac{x_m^k}{x^{k+1}}$ where $x_m > 0$ is called the location parameter and $ k > 0$ is called the pareto index or shape.

The parameter $ x_m $ can be infered from the mean and the parameter $ k $ with the equation $x_m = mean \frac{k-1}{k}, k > 1$ .

ParetoVariable x (3.14);

x.GetValue (); //will always return with mean 3.14

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ns3::ParetoVariable::ParetoVariable ( double m )

explicit

Constructs a pareto random variable with specified mean and shape parameter of 1.5.

Parameters

m	Mean value of the distribution

Definition at line 786 of file random-variable.cc.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

ns3::ParetoVariable::ParetoVariable	(	double	m,
		double	s
	)

Constructs a pareto random variable with the specified mean value and shape parameter. Beware, s must be strictly greater than 1.

Parameters

m	Mean value of the distribution
s	Shape parameter for the distribution

Definition at line 791 of file random-variable.cc.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

ns3::ParetoVariable::ParetoVariable	(	double	m,
		double	s,
		double	b
	)

Constructs a pareto random variable with the specified mean value, shape (alpha), and upper bound. Beware, s must be strictly greater than 1.

Since pareto distributions can theoretically return unbounded values, it is sometimes useful to specify a fixed upper limit. Note however when the upper limit is specified, the true mean of the distribution is slightly smaller than the mean value specified.

Parameters

m	Mean value
s	Shape parameter
b	Upper limit on returned values

Definition at line 796 of file random-variable.cc.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

ns3::ParetoVariable::ParetoVariable ( std::pair< double, double > params )

Constructs a pareto random variable with the specified scale and shape parameters.

Parameters

params the two parameters, respectively scale and shape, of the distribution

Definition at line 801 of file random-variable.cc.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

ns3::ParetoVariable::ParetoVariable	(	std::pair< double, double >	params,
		double	b
	)

Constructs a pareto random variable with the specified scale, shape (alpha), and upper bound.

Since pareto distributions can theoretically return unbounded values, it is sometimes useful to specify a fixed upper limit. Note however when the upper limit is specified, the true mean of the distribution is slightly smaller than the mean value specified.

Parameters

params	the two parameters, respectively scale and shape, of the distribution
b	Upper limit on returned values
