Struct rand_distr::Dirichlet

pub struct Dirichlet<N> { /* fields omitted */ }

The dirichelet distribution Dirichlet(alpha).

The Dirichlet distribution is a family of continuous multivariate probability distributions parameterized by a vector alpha of positive reals. It is a multivariate generalization of the beta distribution.

Example

use rand::prelude::*;
use rand_distr::Dirichlet;

let dirichlet = Dirichlet::new(vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0]).unwrap();
let samples = dirichlet.sample(&mut rand::thread_rng());
println!("{:?} is from a Dirichlet([1.0, 2.0, 3.0]) distribution", samples);

Implementations
