The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution" target="_top">Rayleigh
distribution</a> is a continuous distribution with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function" target="_top">probability
density function</a>:

<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="serif_italic">f(x; sigma) = x * exp(-x<sup>2</sup>/2 &#963;<sup>2</sup>) / &#963;<sup>2</sup></span>

<p>
For sigma parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>&#963;</em></span> &gt; 0, and <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>
&gt; 0.
</p>
<p>
The Rayleigh distribution is often used where two orthogonal components
have an absolute value, for example, wind velocity and direction may be
combined to yield a wind speed, or real and imaginary components may have
absolute values that are Rayleigh distributed.
</p>
<p>
The following graph illustrates how the Probability density Function(pdf)
varies with the shape parameter &#963;:

The Rayleigh distribution is implemented in terms of the standard library
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sqrt</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">exp</span></code> and as such should have very low
error rates. Some constants such as skewness and kurtosis were calculated
using NTL RR type with 150-bit accuracy, about 50 decimal digits.
