The [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution Rayleigh distribution]
is a continuous distribution with the
[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function probability density function]:
f(x; sigma) = x * exp(-x[super 2]/2 [sigma][super 2]) / [sigma][super 2]
For sigma parameter [sigma][space] > 0, and x > 0.
The Rayleigh distribution is often used where two orthogonal components
have an absolute value,
for example, wind velocity and direction may be combined to yield a wind speed,
or real and imaginary components may have absolute values that are Rayleigh distributed.
The following graph illustrates how the Probability density Function(pdf) varies with the shape parameter [sigma]:
[$../graphs/rayleigh_pdf.png]
and the Cumulative Distribution Function (cdf)
[$../graphs/rayleigh_cdf.png]
[h4 Related distributions]
The absolute value of two independent normal distributions X and Y, [radic] (X[super 2] + Y[super 2])
is a Rayleigh distribution.
The [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_distribution Chi],
[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_distribution Rice]
and [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution Weibull] distributions are generalizations of the
[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution Rayleigh distribution].
[h4 Member Functions]
rayleigh_distribution(RealType sigma = 1);
Constructs a [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution
Rayleigh distribution] with [sigma] /sigma/.
Requires that the [sigma] parameter is greater than zero,
otherwise calls __domain_error.
RealType sigma()const;
Returns the /sigma/ parameter of this distribution.
[h4 Non-member Accessors]
All the [link math_toolkit.dist.dist_ref.nmp usual non-member accessor functions] that are generic to all
distributions are supported: __usual_accessors.
The domain of the random variable is \[0, max_value\].
[h4 Accuracy]
The Rayleigh distribution is implemented in terms of the
standard library `sqrt` and `exp` and as such should have very low error rates.
Some constants such as skewness and kurtosis were calculated using
NTL RR type with 150-bit accuracy, about 50 decimal digits.
[h4 Implementation]
In the following table [sigma][space] is the sigma parameter of the distribution,
/x/ is the random variate, /p/ is the probability and /q = 1-p/.
[table
[[Function][Implementation Notes]]
[[pdf][Using the relation: pdf = x * exp(-x[super 2])/2 [sigma][super 2] ]]
[[cdf][Using the relation: p = 1 - exp(-x[super 2]/2) [sigma][super 2][space] = -__expm1(-x[super 2]/2) [sigma][super 2]]]
[[cdf complement][Using the relation: q = exp(-x[super 2]/ 2) * [sigma][super 2] ]]
[[quantile][Using the relation: x = sqrt(-2 * [sigma] [super 2]) * log(1 - p)) = sqrt(-2 * [sigma] [super 2]) * __log1p(-p))]]
[[quantile from the complement][Using the relation: x = sqrt(-2 * [sigma] [super 2]) * log(q)) ]]
