Detailed Description

Gaussian random number distribution.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

rd::Gauss::Gauss (  double    mean = 0.0, double    sigma = 0.0 )  [inline]

Construct a new distribution. Parameters: mean  the mean value of the distribution (default=0) sigma  the standard deviation of the distribution (default=0)

---

Member Function Documentation

double rd::Gauss::getMean (    )  const [inline]

Get the mean value of the distribution.

std::string rd::Gauss::getName (    )  const [inline]

Get the name of this distribution.

double rd::Gauss::getSigma (    )  const [inline]

Get the standard deviation of the distribution.

void rd::Gauss::getState (  State &    )  const

Save the current state of the distribution. The state can be restored at any time with setState(). Both the state of the underlying random number generator and the distribution parameters (mean, sigma) are saved.

double rd::Gauss::sample (    )

Sample the distribution.

void rd::Gauss::setDistribution (  double    mean, double    sigma )  [inline]

Set the mean value and standard deviation of the distribution. Parameters: mean  the mean value of the distribution sigma  the standard deviation of the distribution

void rd::Gauss::setSeed (  unsigned long int    seed )  [inline]

Reseed the underlying random number generator. Parameters: seed  the new seed.

void rd::Gauss::setState (  State const &    )

Restore the underlying generator to a specific state saved with getState(). The subsequent samples of the distribution will be identical to the sequence following the corresponding getState() call.
