Discrete Uniform Distribution.Sample Method
Definition
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics (in Extreme.Numerics.dll) Version: 8.1.23
Overload List
Sample() | Returns a random sample from the distribution. |
Sample( | Returns a vector of random samples from the distribution. |
Sample( | Returns a random sample from the distribution. |
Sample( | Returns a vector of random samples from the distribution. |
Sample( | Fills an Int32 array with random numbers. |
Sample( | Gets a single sample from the uniform distribution over the specified interval. |
Sample( | Gets a single sample from the uniform distribution over the specified interval. |
Sample( | Fills an Int32 array with random numbers from this DiscreteDistribution. |
Sample(Random)
public override int Sample(
Random random
)
Parameters
- random Random
- A Random object that specifies the uniform random number generator that is to be used to generate the samples.
Return Value
Int32A 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.
Exceptions
ArgumentNullException | random is null. |
Sample(Random, Int32)
public static int Sample(
Random random,
int maxValue
)
Parameters
- random Random
- The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.
- maxValue Int32
- The upper bound (one larger than the largest possible value) of the interval.
Return Value
Int32A 32-bit integer sample from the uniform distribution over the specified interval.
Remarks
The lower bound of the interval is zero. The upper bound is exclusive: only values strictly less than maxValue will be returned.
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
ArgumentNullException | random is null. |
Sample(Random, Int32, Int32)
public static int Sample(
Random random,
int minValue,
int maxValue
)
Parameters
- random Random
- The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.
- minValue Int32
- The lower bound (smallest possible value) of the interval.
- maxValue Int32
- The upper bound (one smaller than the largest possible value) of the interval.
Return Value
Int32A 32-bit integer sample from the uniform distribution over the specified interval.
Remarks
The upper bound is exclusive: only values strictly less than maxValue will be returned.
