cern.jet.random.tfloat.AbstractFloatDistribution
public abstract class AbstractFloatDistribution
Abstract base class for all random distributions. A subclass of this class need to override method nextFloat() and, in rare cases, also nextInt().
Currently all subclasses use a uniform pseudo-random number generation engine and transform its results to the target distribution. Thus, they expect such a uniform engine upon instance construction.
FloatMersenneTwister
is recommended as
uniform pseudo-random number generation engine, since it is very strong and
at the same time quick. makeDefaultGenerator()
will conveniently
construct and return such a magic thing. You can also, for example, use
DRand
, a quicker (but much weaker)
uniform random number generation engine. Of course, you can also use other
strong uniform random number generation engines.

---|---|
float |
apply(float dummy)
Equivalent to nextFloat(). |

apply(int dummy)
Equivalent to nextInt(). |

clone()
Returns a deep copy of the receiver; the copy will produce identical sequences. |

makeDefaultGenerator()
Constructs and returns a new uniform random number generation engine seeded with the current time. |
abstract float |
nextFloat()
Returns a random number from the distribution. |
int |
nextInt()
Returns a random number from the distribution; returns (int) Math.round(nextFloat()). |
