Function rgsl::randist::cauchy::cauchy [] [src]

pub fn cauchy(r: &Rng, a: f64) -> f64

This function returns a random variate from the Cauchy distribution with scale parameter a. The probability distribution for Cauchy random variates is,

p(x) dx = {1 \over a\pi (1 + (x/a)2) } dx

for x in the range -\infty to +\infty. The Cauchy distribution is also known as the Lorentz distribution.
