pm_distPower::getPowerLogRand Interface Reference

Generate and return a scalar (or array of arbitrary rank) of the natural logarithm(s) of random value(s) from the (Truncated) Power distribution with parameters \((\alpha, x_\mathrm{min}, x_\mathrm{max})\).
More...

Detailed Description

Generate and return a scalar (or array of arbitrary rank) of the natural logarithm(s) of random value(s) from the (Truncated) Power distribution with parameters \((\alpha, x_\mathrm{min}, x_\mathrm{max})\).

See the documentation of pm_distPower for more information on the (Truncated) Power distribution.

Parameters

[in]	alpha	: The input scalar (or array of the same rank, shape, and size as other array like arguments), of type real of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., RK, RK32, RK64, or RK128), containing the shape parameter ( \(\alpha\)) of the distribution.
[in]	logMinX	: The input scalar (or array of the same rank, shape, and size as other array like arguments), of the same type and kind as alpha, containing the natural logarithm of the first scale parameter of the distribution, representing the minimum of the support of the distribution. (optional, default = 0. It can be present if and only if logMaxX is also present.)
[in]	logMaxX	: The input scalar (or array of the same rank, shape, and size as other array like arguments), of the same type and kind as alpha, containing the natural logarithm of the second scale parameter of the distribution, representing the maximum of the support of the distribution.

Returns

logRand : The output scalar (or array of the same rank, shape, and size as other array like arguments), of the same type and kind as alpha, containing the random value(s) from the specified distribution.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

use pm_distPower, only: getPowerLogRand
 
logRand = getPowerLogRand(alpha, logMinX) ! Power distribution.
logRand = getPowerLogRand(alpha, logMinX, logMaxX) ! Truncated Power distribution.
!

Warning

The condition alpha > 0 must hold for the corresponding input arguments.
The conditions logMinX < logMaxX must hold for the corresponding input arguments.
These conditions are verified only if the library is built with the preprocessor macro CHECK_ENABLED=1.

Remarks

The procedures under discussion are impure.

The procedures under discussion are elemental.
