=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::RandomDistFunctions - A set of routines useful for generating random data in different distributions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Tools::RandomDistFunctions;
  my $dist = Bio::Tools::RandomDistFunctions->new();
  for my $v ( 1..1000 ) { 
    my $birth_dist = $dist->rand_birth_distribution($lambda);
    # ... do something with the variable
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Most of the code is based on the C implementation of these routines in
Mike Sanderson's r8s's package.  See http://ginger.ucdavis.edu/ for
information on his software.

This code tries to be fast and use available faster BigInt and GMP
library methods when those modules are available.

 Title   : rand_birth_distribution
 Usage   : my $randvar = $dist->
            rand_birth_distribution($lambda);
 Function: Returns a random number from a birth process waiting 
           time with a fixed interval
           1.0.  Times are measured from 0=present,1=root;
 Returns : floating point number
 Args    : $lambda ( > 0 )
 References : This is based on code by Mike Sanders in r8s.

 Title   : rand_geometric_distribution
 Usage   : my $randvar = $dist->rand_geometric_distribution($param);

 Returns : integer
