The GaussianGenerator type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	GaussianGenerator(Single, Single)	Initializes a new instance of the GaussianGenerator class.
	GaussianGenerator(Single, Single, Int32)	Initializes a new instance of the GaussianGenerator class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Mean	Mean value of the generator.
	StdDev	Standard deviation value.
	Variance	Variance value of the generator.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Next	Generate next random number.
	SetSeed	Set seed of the random numbers generator.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	HasMethod	Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	IsEqual	Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices. (Defined by Matrix.)
	To(Type)	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToT	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

The random number generator generates gaussian random numbers with specified mean and standard deviation values.

The generator uses StandardGenerator generator as base to generate random numbers.

Sample usage:

Copy

// create instance of random generator
IRandomNumberGenerator generator = new GaussianGenerator( 5.0, 1.5 );
// generate random number
float randomNumber = generator.Next( );
