Description

The oneapi::mkl::rng::bernoulli class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate function to provide Bernoulli distributed random numbers with probability p of a single trial success, where p \epsilon R; 0 \leq p \leq 1.

A variate is called Bernoulli distributed, if after a trial it is equal to 1 with probability of success p, and to 0 with probability 1 - p.

The probability distribution is given by:

P(X =1) = p

P(X=0) = 1-p

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

F_p(x) = \begin{cases} 0, & x < 0 \\ 1 - p, & 0 \leq x < 1, x \in R \\ 1, & x \geq 1 \end{cases}
