Class BreitWigner

java.lang.Object

cern.colt.PersistentObject

cern.jet.random.AbstractDistribution

cern.jet.random.AbstractContinousDistribution

cern.jet.random.BreitWigner

All Implemented Interfaces:

DoubleFunction, IntFunction, Serializable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

BreitWignerMeanSquare

public class BreitWigner
extends AbstractContinousDistribution

BreitWigner (aka Lorentz) distribution; See the math definition. A more general form of the Cauchy distribution.

Instance methods operate on a user supplied uniform random number generator; they are unsynchronized.

Static methods operate on a default uniform random number generator; they are synchronized.

Implementation: This is a port of RandBreitWigner used in CLHEP 1.4.0 (C++).
