Generates beta distributed random values.
Syntax
FORTRAN:
status = vsrngbeta( method, stream, n, r, p, q, a, beta )
status = vdrngbeta( method, stream, n, r, p, q, a, beta )
C:
status = vsRngBeta( method, stream, n, r, p, q, a, beta );
status = vdRngBeta( method, stream, n, r, p, q, a, beta );

Description
The vRngBeta function generates random numbers with beta distribution that has shape parameters p and q, displacement a, and scale parameter β, where p, q, a, and β∈R ; p > 0, q > 0, β > 0.
The probability density function is given by:
where B(p, q) is the complete beta function.
The cumulative distribution function is as follows:
Return Values
- VSL_ERROR_OK, VSL_STATUS_OK
Indicates no error, execution is successful.
- VSL_ERROR_NULL_PTR
stream is a NULL pointer.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_STREAM
stream is not a valid random stream.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_UPDATE
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns an invalid number of updated entries in a buffer, that is, < 0 or > nmax.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_NO_NUMBERS
Callback function for an abstract BRNG returns 0 as the number of updated entries in a buffer.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_QRNG_PERIOD_ELAPSED
Period of the generator has been exceeded.
