Detailed Description

Gamma random walk around a fixed point.

Mean value, $\mu$, of this density is given by a geometric combination of rvc and given fixed point, $p$. $l$ is the coefficient of the geometric combimation

\[ \mu = \mu_{t-1} ^{l} p^{1-l}\]

Standard deviation of the random walk is proportional to one $k$-th the mean. This is achieved by setting $\alpha=k$ and $\beta=k/\mu$.

The standard deviation of the walk is then: $\mu/\sqrt(k)$.

virtual vec mpdf::samplecond ( const vec &  cond,
double &  ll 
) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Returns the required moment of the epdf.

Returns a sample from the density conditioned on cond, $x \sim epdf(rv|cond)$.

Parameters:
cond is numeric value of rv
ll is a return value of log-likelihood of the sample.

Reimplemented in mprod, and mlnorm< sq_T >.

Parameters:
N samples from the density conditioned on cond, $x \sim epdf(rv|cond)$.
cond is numeric value of rv
