ContinuousUniformDistribution.Sample Method

Definition

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

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 continuous uniform distribution over an interval with lower bound zero and specified upper bound.
Sample(Random, Double, Double) Returns a single random sample from a continuous uniform distribution over the specified interval.

Sample(Random)

Returns a random sample from the distribution.
C#
public override double Sample(
	Random random
)

Parameters

random  Random
The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.

Return Value

Double
A double-precision floating-point number.

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 distribution represented by this distribution.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullExceptionrandom is null.

Sample(Random, Double)

Returns a single random sample from a continuous uniform distribution over an interval with lower bound zero and specified upper bound.
C#
public static double Sample(
	Random random,
	double upperBound
)

Parameters

random  Random
The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.
upperBound  Double
The upper bound of the interval.

Return Value

Double
A double-precision floating-point number from the distribution.

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

ArgumentNullExceptionrandom is null.

Sample(Random, Double, Double)

Returns a single random sample from a continuous uniform distribution over the specified interval.
C#
public static double Sample(
	Random random,
	double lowerBound,
	double upperBound
)

Parameters

random  Random
The Random derived random number generator used to generate the sample.
lowerBound  Double
The lower bound of the interval.
upperBound  Double
The upper bound of the interval.

Return Value

Double
A double-precision floating-point number from the distribution.

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

ArgumentNullExceptionrandom is null.
