case class PowerLaw(a: Double = 1.0, b: Double = 10.0, y: Double = 2.1, stream: Int = 0) extends Variate with Product with Serializable

This class generates PowerLaw random variates: 'cx^-y' for 'x in [a, b]'. This continuous RV models power-law distributions.

a

the minimum value parameter

b

the maximum value parameter

y

the power parameter to be used

stream

the random number stream
