NAME¶
std::student_t_distribution - std::student_t_distribution
Synopsis¶
Defined in header <random>
template< class RealType = double > (since C++11)
class student_t_distribution;
Produces random floating-point values x, distributed according to probability
density function:
\(p(x|n) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{n\pi} } \cdot
\frac{\Gamma(\frac{n+1}{2})}{\Gamma(\frac{n}{2})} \cdot
(1+\frac{x^2}{n})^{-\frac{n+1}{2} } \)p(x|n) =

where n is known as the number of degrees of freedom. This distribution is
used when
estimating the mean of an unknown normally distributed value given n+1
independent
measurements, each with additive errors of unknown standard deviation, as in
physical measurements. Or, alternatively, when estimating the unknown mean of
a
normal distribution with unknown standard deviation, given n+1 samples.
std::student_t_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¶
n returns the n distribution parameter (degrees of freedom)
(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)

// Run this code
