Class UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator

java.lang.Object
  org.jscience.mathematics.analysis.optimization.UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

RandomGenerator

public class UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator
extends java.lang.Object
implements RandomGenerator

This class implements a normalized uniform random generator.

Since this is a normalized random generator, it has a null mean and a unit standard deviation. Beeing also a uniform generator, it produces numbers in the range [-sqrt(3) ; sqrt(3)]. It uses the MersenneTwister generator as the underlying generator.

Constructor Detail

UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator

public UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator()

Create a new generator. The seed of the generator is related to the current time.

UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator

public UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator(int[] seed)

Creates a new random number generator using an int array seed.

Parameters:

seed - the initial seed (32 bits integers array), if null the seed of the generator will be related to the current time

UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator

public UniformNormalizedRandomGenerator(long seed)

Create a new generator initialized with a single long seed.

Parameters:

seed - seed for the generator (64 bits integer)

Method Detail

nextDouble

public double nextDouble()

Generate a random scalar with null mean and unit standard deviation.

The number generated is uniformly distributed between -sqrt(3) and sqrt(3).

Specified by:

nextDouble in interface RandomGenerator

Returns:

a random scalar with null mean and unit standard deviation
