Inheritance HierarchySystemObject
Accord.Math.RandomZigguratUniformGenerator
Accord.Math.RandomZigguratUniformGenerator
Namespace: Accord.Math.Random
Assembly: Accord.Math (in Accord.Math.dll) Version: 3.8.0
SyntaxThe ZigguratUniformGenerator type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ZigguratUniformGenerator(Double, Double) |
Initializes a new instance of the ZigguratExponentialGenerator class.
|
| ZigguratUniformGenerator(Double, Double, Int32) |
Initializes a new instance of the ZigguratUniformOneGenerator class.
|
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Length |
Gets or sets the length of the interval for values generated by this
instance. The upper bound will be given by Min + Length.
|
| Min |
Gets or sets the lower bound for the values generated by this instance.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Generate |
Generates a random vector of observations from the current distribution.
|
| Generate(Int32) |
Generates a random vector of observations from the current distribution.
|
| Generate(Int32, Double) |
Generates a random vector of observations from the current distribution.
|
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| 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.
