Description

The mkl::rng::beta class object is used in the mkl::rng::generate function to provide random numbers with beta distribution that has shape parameters p and q, displacement a, and scale parameter (b, β), where p, q, a, and βR ; p > 0, q > 0, β > 0.

The probability density function is given by:

where B(p, q) is the complete beta function.

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors.
