public class Beta
extends AbstractSeededRandomNumberGenerator<Double>

Generates random numbers from a Beta random variable.

Valid options are:

-D <int> (property: debugLevel)
    The greater the number the more additional info the scheme may output to
    the console (0 = off).
    default: 0
    minimum: 0
 

-seed <long> (property: seed)
    The seed value for the random number generator.
    default: 1
 

-a <double> (property: a)
    The first parameter for the beta random variable.
    default: 1.0
 

-b <double> (property: b)
    The second parameter for the beta random variable.
    default: 2.0
