Detailed Description

This module contains classes and procedures for computing various statistical quantities related to the Negative Exponential distribution.

Specifically, this module contains routines for computing the following quantities of the Negative Exponential distribution:

  1. the Probability Density Function (PDF)
  2. the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)
  3. the Random Number Generation from the distribution (RNG)
  4. the Inverse Cumulative Distribution Function (ICDF) or the Quantile Function

The PDF of the Negative Exponential distribution with the two location and scale parameters \((\mu, \sigma)\) is defined as,

\begin{equation} \large F(x | \mu, \sigma) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{\sigma} \exp(\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}) &,~ -\infty < x \leq \mu \\ 0 &,~ x > \mu \end{cases} \end{equation}

where \(-\infty < \mu < +\infty\) is the location parameter and \(0 < \sigma < +\infty\) is the scale parameter of the distribution.

The corresponding CDF with the two location and scale parameters \((\mu, \sigma)\) is defined as,

\begin{equation} \large \ms{CDF}(x | \mu, \sigma) = \begin{cases} \exp(\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}) &,~ -\infty < x \leq \mu \\ 0 &,~ x > \mu \end{cases} \end{equation}

where \(-\infty < \mu < +\infty\) is the location parameter and \(0 < \sigma < +\infty\) is the scale parameter of the distribution.

Random Number Generation

Assuming \(U \in (0, 1]\) is a uniformly-distributed random variate,

\begin{equation} \large T = \sigma\log(U) + \mu ~, \end{equation}

is a random variate from the Negative Exponential distribution with the location parameter \(-\infty < \mu < +\infty\) and the scale parameter \(0 < \sigma < +\infty\) such that \(\mu \leq T < +\infty\).

Note
Note that the mean of the Negative Exponential distribution is the scale parameter: \(\mathrm{mean} = \sigma\)).
