ContinuousDistribution.Sample Method

public double Sample()

Public Function Sample As Double

public:
double Sample()

member Sample : unit -> float 

Return Value

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

public Vector<double> Sample(
	int size
)

Public Function Sample ( 
	size As Integer
) As Vector(Of Double)

public:
Vector<double>^ Sample(
	int size
)

member Sample : 
        size : int -> Vector<float> 

Parameters

size  Int32

The number of samples to return.

Return Value

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

public virtual double Sample(
	Random random
)

Public Overridable Function Sample ( 
	random As Random
) As Double

public:
virtual double Sample(
	Random^ random
)

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

Parameters

random  Random

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

Return Value

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 distribution represented by this Distribution.

	size As Integer,
	random As Random
) As Vector(Of Double)

public:
virtual Vector<double>^ Sample(
	int size, 
	Random^ random
)

abstract Sample : 
        size : int * 
        random : Random -> Vector<float> 
override Sample : 
        size : int * 
        random : Random -> Vector<float> 

Parameters

size  Int32

The number of samples to return.

random  Random

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

Return Value

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 distribution represented by this Distribution.
