GenericDiscreteDistribution.Sample Method

Definition

Namespace: Numerics.NET.Statistics.Distributions
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 9.0.0

Overload List

Sample()	Returns a random sample from the distribution.
Sample(Int32)	Returns a vector of random samples from the distribution.
Sample(Random)	Returns a random sample from the distribution.
Sample(Int32, Random)	Returns a vector of random samples from the distribution.
Sample(Random, Int32[])	Fills an Int32 array with random numbers.
Sample(Random, Int32[], Int32, Int32)	Fills an Int32 array with random numbers from this DiscreteDistribution.

Sample(Random)

Returns a random sample from the distribution.

public override int Sample(
	Random random
)

Visual Basic

Public Overrides Function Sample ( 
	random As Random
) As Integer

C++/CLI

public:
virtual int Sample(
	Random^ random
) override

abstract Sample : 
        random : Random -> int 
override Sample : 
        random : Random -> int

Parameters

random Random: A Random object that specifies the uniform random number generator that is to be used to generate the samples.

Return Value

Int32
A signed 32-bit integer.

Remarks

This method uses the random number generator specified by random to generate a random sample from the distribution. The return values of successive calls to this method follow the statistical distribution represented by this distribution.
