Description

The mkl::rng::geometric class object is used in the mkl::rng::generate function to provide geometrically distributed random numbers with probability p of a single trial success, where pR; 0 < p < 1.

A geometrically distributed variate represents the number of independent Bernoulli trials preceding the first success. The probability of a single Bernoulli trial success is p.

The probability distribution is given by:

P(X = k) = p·(1 - p)k, k {0,1,2, ... }.

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.
