Definition

Namespace: Extreme.Mathematics
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics (in Extreme.Numerics.dll) Version: 8.1.23

Overload List

FillNormal(Random, IList<Double>) Fills a list with normal random numbers with zero mean and unit standard deviation.
FillNormal(Random, IList<Double>, Int32, Int32) Fills a list with normal random numbers with zero mean and unit standard deviation.

FillNormal(Random, IList<Double>)

Fills a list with normal random numbers with zero mean and unit standard deviation.
C# 
public static void FillNormal(
	this Random random,
	IList<double> samples
)

Parameters

random  Random
A random number generator used to generate the samples.
samples  IList<Double>
A Double array.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type Random. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

ArgumentNullExceptionsamples is null.

FillNormal(Random, IList<Double>, Int32, Int32)

Fills a list with normal random numbers with zero mean and unit standard deviation.
C# 
public static void FillNormal(
	this Random random,
	IList<double> samples,
	int startIndex,
	int length
)

Parameters

random  Random
A random number generator used to generate the samples.
samples  IList<Double>
A Double array.
startIndex  Int32
The zero-based index at which to begin filling the samples array.
length  Int32
The number of samples to provide.

Usage Note
