Exponential Distribution Random Numbers out of range












0












$begingroup$


Hi All I have following exponential distribution equation to generate different values for random variable 'r':



$$p_r = frac{(1 - alpha)alpha^{CW}}{1 - alpha^{CW}} alpha^{-r}
text{ for } r = 1, dots, CW$$



I have applied inverse sampling to get values of $r$ by equating this equation to random variable $U$ between 0 and 1 and then applying log on both sides. CW is fixed as 10 and $alpha$ as 0.8 . But I get values of
$r$ greater than CW (its max range) and values are positive and negative.

          $begingroup$

          For convenience, use the shorthand $beta equivfrac{(1 - alpha)alpha^{CW}}{1 - alpha^{CW}}$.



          Generate random variable $U$ uniformly from $[0,1)$, where the observed values are $u$, then the desired random variable $R$ (which observed values are $r$) can be obtained as



          begin{align}
          r &= 1 & &text{if} & 0 le frac{u}{beta} & < alpha^{-1} \
          r &= 2 & &text{if} & alpha^{-1} le frac{u}{beta} & < alpha^{-1} + alpha^{-2} \
          r &= 3 & &text{if} & alpha^{-1} + alpha^{-2} le frac{u}{beta} &< alpha^{-1} + alpha^{-2} + alpha^{-3} \
          r &= 4 & &text{if} & alpha^{-1} + alpha^{-2} + alpha^{-3} le frac{u}{beta} &< alpha^{-1} + alpha^{-2} + alpha^{-3} + alpha^{-4}\
          &vdots &&vdots &&vdots \
          r &= k & &text{if} & sum_{j=1}^{k-1} alpha^{-j} le frac{u}{beta} &< sum_{j=1}^k alpha^{-j} \
          &vdots &&vdots &&vdots \
          r &= CW & &text{if} & sum_{j=1}^{CW-1} alpha^{-j} le frac{u}{beta} &< sum_{j=1}^{CW} alpha^{-j}
          end{align}



          By the way, this is not an exponential distribution. It is a truncated Geometric distribution.



          Your original approach of "applying log on both sides" is the method of inverse transformation that works only on continuous distributions when directly applied like that.

            Continue the two bullets above (1) I finally take a look at the (various versions) of the paper by Jamieson and Balakrishnan. They clearly stated that "Sift uses a truncated increasing geometric distribution". This and that are two highlighted snapshots. I don't know why you said they call it exponential. I advise you edit the question title, otherwise the suggested links are all irrelevant.

            Continue the two bullets above (1) I finally take a look at the (various versions) of the paper by Jamieson and Balakrishnan. They clearly stated that "Sift uses a truncated increasing geometric distribution". This and that are two highlighted snapshots. I don't know why you said they call it exponential. I advise you edit the question title, otherwise the suggested links are all irrelevant.

            1. Thanks for explanation and sorry for late reply . This equation is from SIFT MAC Protocol research paper [Jamieson, K., Balakrishnan, H., & Tay, Y. C. (2006, February). Sift: A MAC protocol for event-driven wireless sensor networks. In European workshop on wireless sensor networks (pp. 260-275). Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg] and author says that it is exponential. any ways may be i understood wrong. 2. How can we make this equation more compact as i need to program it ?

            (1) People from different fields use different terminology. If no such communication problem is encountered in your line of work then it's not my place to judge. Just FYI in many communities, Geometric Distribution and Exponential Distribution refer to two different things that are mutual analogues, with the former being discrete and latter continuous.

Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Lage 2 Geschichte 3 Literatur 4 Weblinks Lage | Der etwa 90 Meter lange Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten befindet sich an der nördlichen Spitze der Altstadtinsel, vor dem Burgtor. Die in einem Bogen durch eine Grünanlage hangaufwärts führende Straße verbindet die Wakenitzmauer mit der Burgtorbrücke. Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich
