Uniform Distribution

This class produces a Uniform distribution across a user specified number of outcomes. Optionally, a random number generator can also be provided for sampling. If a random number generator is not provided, Mersenne will be used.

Constructor​

UniformDistribution(const uint32_t probsCount);
UniformDistribution(const uint32_t probsCount, SST::RNG::Random* baseRNG);

Parameters​

  • probsCount (double) The number of possible outcomes in the distribution.
  • baseRNG (SST::RNG::Random*) A random number generator for sampling the distribution

getNextDouble​

double getNextDouble();

Return the next double in the distribution. This is a double converted from the outcome index.

Parameters​

  • returns (double) The next double in the distribution

Example​

SST::RNG::UniformDistribution* dist = new SST::RNG::UniformDistribution(5.0);

double next;
next = dist->getNextDouble();
