The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution" target="_top">exponential
distribution</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution" target="_top">continuous
probability distribution</a> with PDF:

<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/exponential_dist_ref1.svg"></span>
</p></blockquote></div>
<p>
It is often used to model the time between independent events that happen
at a constant average rate.
</p>
<p>
The following graph shows how the distribution changes for different values
of the rate parameter lambda:
