Create a geometric distribution with the given probability of success.

Note: this constructor will implicitly create an instance of Well19937c as random generator to be used for sampling only (see AbstractIntegerDistribution.sample() and AbstractIntegerDistribution.sample(int)). In case no sampling is needed for the created distribution, it is advised to pass null as random generator via the appropriate constructors to avoid the additional initialisation overhead.

Params:
  • p – probability of success.
Throws:
