std::extreme_value_distribution(3)

NAME
std::extreme_value_distribution - std::extreme_value_distribution

Synopsis
   Defined in header <random>
   template< class RealType = double > (since C++11)
   class extreme_value_distribution;
   Produces random numbers according to the extreme value distribution (it is also
   known as Gumbel Type I, log-Weibull, Fisher-Tippett Type I):
           \({\small p(x;a,b) = \frac{1}{b} \exp{(\frac{a-x}{b}-\exp{(\frac{a-x}{b})})}
           }\)p(x;a,b) =
           1
           b
           exp⎛
           ⎜
           ⎝
           a-x
           b
           - exp⎛

   std::extreme_value_distribution satisfies all requirements of
   RandomNumberDistribution

Template parameters
   RealType - The result type generated by the generator. The effect is undefined if
              this is not one of float, double, or long double.

Member types
   Member type Definition
   result_type RealType
   param_type(C++11) the type of the parameter set, see RandomNumberDistribution.

Member functions
   constructor constructs new distribution
   (C++11) (public member function)
   reset resets the internal state of the distribution
   (C++11) (public member function)

Generation
   operator() generates the next random number in the distribution
   (C++11) (public member function)

Characteristics
   a returns the distribution parameters
   b (public member function)
   param gets or sets the distribution parameter object
   (C++11) (public member function)
   min returns the minimum potentially generated value
   (C++11) (public member function)
   max returns the maximum potentially generated value
   (C++11) (public member function)

Non-member functions
   operator==
   operator!= compares two distribution objects
   (C++11) (function)
   (C++11)(removed in C++20)
   operator<< performs stream input and output on pseudo-random number
   operator>> distribution
   (C++11) (function template)
