/* The exponential power probability distribution is  

   p(x) dx = (1/(2 a Gamma(1+1/b))) * exp(-|x/a|^b) dx

   for -infty < x < infty. For b = 1 it reduces to the Laplace
   distribution. 

   The exponential power distribution is related to the gamma
   distribution by E = a * pow(G(1/b),1/b), where E is an exponential
   power variate and G is a gamma variate.

   We use this relation for b < 1. For b >=1 we use rejection methods
   based on the laplace and gaussian distributions which should be
   faster.  For b>4 we revert to the gamma method.

   See P. R. Tadikamalla, "Random Sampling from the Exponential Power
   Distribution", Journal of the American Statistical Association,
   September 1980, Volume 75, Number 371, pages 683-686.
