law0035.Exponential: The Exponential Distribution

In PoweR: Computation of Power and Level Tables for Hypothesis Tests

Description

Random generation for the Exponential distribution with rate rate (i.e., mean 1/rate).

This generator is called by function gensample to create random variables based on its parameter.

Details

If rate is not specified it assumes the default value of 1.

The Exponential distribution with rate = λ has density:

f(x) = λ e^{-λ x}

for x ≥ 0.
