/**
 * The hyperexponential distribution is a real-valued continuous distribution
 * with two parameters, the <em>phase probability vector</em> \c probs and the
 * <em>rate vector</em> \c rates.
 *
 * A \f$k\f$-phase hyperexponential distribution is a mixture of \f$k\f$
 * exponential distributions.
 * For this reason, it is also referred to as <em>mixed exponential
 * distribution</em> or <em>parallel \f$k\f$-phase exponential
 * distribution</em>.
 *
 * A \f$k\f$-phase hyperexponential distribution is characterized by two
 * parameters, namely a <em>phase probability vector</em> \f$\mathbf{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k)\f$ and a <em>rate vector</em> \f$\mathbf{\lambda}=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)\f$.
 *
 * A \f$k\f$-phase hyperexponential distribution is frequently used in
 * <em>queueing theory</em> to model the distribution of the superposition of
 * \f$k\f$ independent events, like, for instance, the  service time distribution
 * of a queueing station with \f$k\f$ servers in parallel where the \f$i\f$-th
 * server is chosen with probability \f$\alpha_i\f$ and its service time
 * distribution is an exponential distribution with rate \f$\lambda_i\f$
 * (Allen,1990; Papadopolous et al.,1993; Trivedi,2002).
 *
 * For instance, CPUs service-time distribution in a computing system has often
 * been observed to possess such a distribution (Rosin,1965).
 * Also, the arrival of different types of customer to a single queueing station
 * is often modeled as a hyperexponential distribution (Papadopolous et al.,1993).
 * Similarly, if a product manufactured in several parallel assemply lines and
 * the outputs are merged, the failure density of the overall product is likely
 * to be hyperexponential (Trivedi,2002).
 *
 * Finally, since the hyperexponential distribution exhibits a high Coefficient
 * of Variation (CoV), that is a CoV > 1, it is especially suited to fit
 * empirical data with large CoV (Feitelson,2014; Wolski et al.,2013) and to
 * approximate <em>long-tail probability distributions</em> (Feldmann et al.,1998).
 *
 * See (Boost,2014) for more information and examples.
 *
 * A \f$k\f$-phase hyperexponential distribution has a probability density
 * function
 * \f[
 *  f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^k \alpha_i \lambda_i e^{-x\lambda_i}
 * \f]
 * where:
 * - \f$k\f$ is the <em>number of phases</em> and also the size of the input
 *   vector parameters,
 * - \f$\mathbf{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k)\f$ is the <em>phase probability
 *   vector</em> parameter, and
 * - \f$\mathbf{\lambda}=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)\f$ is the <em>rate vector</em>
 *   parameter.
 * .
 *
 * Given a \f$k\f$-phase hyperexponential distribution with phase probability
 * vector \f$\mathbf{\alpha}\f$ and rate vector \f$\mathbf{\lambda}\f$, the
 * random variate generation algorithm consists of the following steps (Tyszer,1999):
 * -# Generate a random variable \f$U\f$ uniformly distribution on the interval \f$(0,1)\f$.
 * -# Use \f$U\f$ to select the appropriate \f$\lambda_i\f$ (e.g., the
 *  <em>alias method</em> can possibly be used for this step).
 * -# Generate an exponentially distributed random variable \f$X\f$ with rate parameter \f$\lambda_i\f$.
 * -# Return \f$X\f$.
 * .
