ExponentialGenerator
Creates a generator of exponentially-distributed values from a distribution with a rate controlled by the specified generator parameter. The mean of this distribution is 1 / rate and the variance is 1 / rate^2.- Parameters:
rate
- A number generator that provides values to use as the rate for the exponential distribution. This generator must only return non-zero, positive values.rng
- The source of randomness used to generate the exponential values.
