RayleighDistribution.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, Double)	Returns a single random sample from a student t distribution with the specified parameters.

Sample(Random, Double)

Returns a single random sample from a student t distribution with the specified parameters.

public static double Sample(
	Random random,
	double scale
)

Visual Basic

Public Shared Function Sample ( 
	random As Random,
	scale As Double
) As Double

C++/CLI

public:
static double Sample(
	Random^ random, 
	double scale
)

static member Sample : 
        random : Random * 
        scale : float -> float

Parameters

random Random: The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.
scale Double: Scale parameter.

Return Value

Double
A double-precision floating-point sample from the Rayleigh distribution with the specified parameters.

Remarks

This method is useful when only a single random sample is required, or if the parameters of the distribution change often. To obtain a large number of samples from a distribution with identical parameters, create an instance of the class and call the Sample() method repeatedly.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException	scale is less than or equal to zero.
ArgumentNullException	random is null.
