2.1.24.8.2 binornd

Description

Generates an array of random integers from a binomial distribution, seeds and generator number passed explicitly

Syntax

int binornd( long * v, uint n, int m, double p )

Parameters

v

[output] Pointer to a double array, which contain the results

n

[input] The number of pseudo-random numbers to be generated. n>=1

m

[input] The number of trials, m, of the distribution

p

[input] The probability of success p of the binomial distribution

Return

Return NE_NOERROR(0) on success, otherwise error.

Examples

EX1

//This example is to generate pseudo-random numbers from binomial distribution
int binornd_ex1()
{
    uint n = 20;
    int m = 6000;
    double p = 0.8;
    long v[20];
 
    int nRet = binornd( v, n, m, p);
 
    if(0 != nRet)
    	return 0;
    
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
        printf("v[%d]: %d\n",i, v[i]);

    return 1;
}
