How to generate an element from laplace distribution
Hi, I am wondering how to generate a random element according to laplace distribution. I tried the method RealDistribution(). But it failed.
According to the reference manual, laplace distribution is not supported. http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference...
In the manual, there are some examples showing how to deal with uniform distribution, Gaussian distribution, etc.
My questions are:
(1) How do I know exactly which distributions are supported by the RealDistribution() method?
(2) Is there anyway I can simply generate an element according to laplace distribution in sage?
Thank you in advance.
I found a way to do this by using numpy in sage. http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/refer...
import numpy numpy.random.laplace(loc,scal,size)
will generate an element for laplace distribution. But it is not a very "sage" way to do it. And I am still concerned about my first question.
