I think a function like this below would be very helpful: --- [snip] --- template inline RealType rand(Generator& rng, const exponential_distribution& dist) {  return -1.0 / dist.lambda() * std::log(1.0-rng()); }

Here's something similar: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/statistics/dist_random/

Thank you! I've taken a look... Very interesting. But. why using different statistical distribution classes #include instead of the ones included in boost #include ? What I mean is that I think an integration between Boost.Random and Boost.StatisticalDistribution would be very useful for users -- Marco
