Description
The vRngRayleigh function generates Rayleigh distributed random numbers with displacement a and scalefactor β, where a, β∈R ; β > 0.
The Rayleigh distribution is a special case of the Weibull distribution, where the shape parameter α = 2.
The probability density function is given by:
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.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_NONDETERM_NRETRIES_EXCEEDED
Number of retries to generate a random number by using non-deterministic random number generator exceeds threshold.
- VSL_RNG_ERROR_ARS5_NOT_SUPPORTED
ARS-5 random number generator is not supported on the CPU running the application.
