Detailed Description

The Bernoulli distribution Random Number Generator (RNG).

This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed Bernoulli distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various Bernoulli distributions.

The probability mass function of a Bernoulli variable is defined as:

\[
     P(n; p) = p^n (1-p)^{1-n}, \\
         \quad n \in \{0, 1\}
  \]

where $ p $ is the probability of success and n is the indicator of success, with n=1 representing success and n=0 representing failure. The mean of this distribution is $ \mu = p
$ and the variance is $ \sigma^2 = p(1-p) $.

The Bernoulli RNG value $n$ is generated by

\[
   n =
   \begin{cases}
   1 & \text{if } u \leq p \\
   0 & \text{otherwise}
   \end{cases}
  \]

where $u$ is a uniform random variable on [0,1) and $p$ is the probability of success.

Example

Here is an example of how to use this class:

double probability = 0.5;
x->SetAttribute ("Probability", DoubleValue (probability));
double success = x->GetValue ();
This class can be used to hold variables of floating point type such as 'double' or 'float'.
Definition double.h:31
Smart pointer class similar to boost::intrusive_ptr.
Ptr< T > CreateObject(Args &&... args)
Create an object by type, with varying number of constructor parameters.
Definition object.h:619
Antithetic Values.

If an instance of this RNG is configured to return antithetic values, the actual value returned, $x'$, is determined by:

\[
     x' =
     \begin{cases}
     1 & \text{if } (1 - u) \leq p \\
     0 & \text{otherwise}
     \end{cases}
  \]

where $u$ is a uniform random variable on [0,1) and $p$ is the probability of success.

◆ GetInteger() [2/2]

uint32_t ns3::BernoulliRandomVariable::GetInteger ( uint32_t probability)

Get the next random value drawn from the distribution.

Returns
A random value.
Parameters
[in]probabilityProbability of success.
Returns
Returns 1 if the trial is successful, or 0 if it is not. This function is similar to GetValue(), but it returns a uint32_t instead of a double.
