public class ExponentialDistribution
extends AbstractContinousPDF
implements IExponentialDistribution

Supports only the mean value so far. Some of the other methods could probably be provided. TODO: A number of calculations are possible, implement them instead of throwing UnsupportedOperationException(). See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_convolutions_of_probability_distributions
