Detailed Description

Random number generator for N dimensions.

This random number generator can produce random numbers in N independent dimensions. The RNG defaults to return uniformly distributed numbers between 0 and 1. Other distributions can be sampled by setting transformations. The transformations can be set independently for each dimension.

Random number generators should be mutex protected.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Random::Random

(

size_t

)

Constructor for N dimensional RNG.

Random::~Random ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void Random::get ( double *  x ) const

pure virtual

Get a set of random numbers.

Get next sampling from random number generator to array x. The array x must have space for N numbers.

Implemented in MTRandom, and QRandom.

void Random::set_transformation	(	size_t	i,
		const Random_Variate_Transformation &	trans
	)

Set random variate transformation for dimension i.

All transformations default to Uniform_Transformation.
