Class LogNormalDistributionParameter

java.lang.Object
it.univr.di.cstnu.util.LogNormalDistributionParameter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class LogNormalDistributionParameter extends Object implements Serializable
Log-normal distribution. Initially created inside the PSTN class, then extracted to allow the compilation of the package without the PSTN class.

      public LogNormalDistributionParameter(double location, double scale, int shift)
      Parameters:
      location - Considering the associated normal distribution, this is the mean μ of the normal distribution.
      scale - Considering the associated normal distribution, this is the standard deviation σ of the normal distribution.
      shift - It is possible that a rigid distance shifts the activation time point. In such a case, the log-normal distribution of the contingent link is the same, but the sample values must be simply added to the shift to have the right value. It would be possible to adjust the location and scale of the log-normal distribution to incorporate such a shift. Still, we verified that such an adjustment introduces some approximation errors. Be careful: if the original PDF was for the contingent link 'X--v--> A===>C' and A was moved to X, the range of the contingent link is increased by v. The shift is 'v', not (-v). Shift can only be positive.
