Alex Herbert reopened RNG-149:
------------------------------
Assignee: Alex Herbert
This sampler has been superceded by the modified ziggurat sampler. See RNG-151.
Since this is unreleased code it can be removed from the main code and moved to
the example package for performance comparisons.

> --------------------------
>
> Key: RNG-149
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-149
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: sampling
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Alex Herbert
> Assignee: Alex Herbert
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.4
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The paper describing the ZigguratNormalizedGaussianSampler also provides code
> for sampling from an exponential distribution.
> {code:java}
> public class ZigguratExponentialSampler implements
> SharedStateContinuousSampler {
> public ZigguratExponentialSampler
> withUniformRandomProvider(UniformRandomProvider rng);
> public static ZigguratExponentialSampler of(UniformRandomProvider rng);
> public static ZigguratExponentialSampler of(UniformRandomProvider rng,
> double mean);
> }
> {code}
> I suggest allowing creation of a sampler with mean 1. This special case has
> application in other samplers, for example the LargeMeanPoissonSampler.
