Public Member Functions inherited from SST::RNG::RandomDistribution
virtual	~RandomDistribution ()
	Destroys the distribution.
	RandomDistribution ()
	Creates the base (abstract) class of a distribution.

Protected Attributes
double	mean
	The mean of the Gaussian distribution.
double	stddev
	The standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution.
SST::RNG::Random *	baseDistrib
	The base random number generator for the distribution.
double	unusedPair
	Random numbers for the distribution are read in pairs, this stores the second of the pair.
bool	usePair
	Random numbers for the distribution are read in pairs, this tells the code to use the second of the pair.
bool	deleteDistrib
	Controls whether the destructor deletes the distribution (we need to ensure we do this IF we created the distribution)

Detailed Description

Creates a Gaussian (normal) distribution for which to sample.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GaussianDistribution() [1/2]

SST::RNG::GaussianDistribution::GaussianDistribution ( double  mn, double  sd  )

inline

Creates a new distribution with a predefined random number generator with a specified mean and standard deviation.

Parameters

mn	The mean of the Gaussian distribution
sd	The standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution

GaussianDistribution() [2/2]

SST::RNG::GaussianDistribution::GaussianDistribution ( double  mn, double  sd, SST::RNG::Random *  baseRNG  )

inline

Creates a new distribution with a predefined random number generator with a specified mean and standard deviation.

Parameters

mn	The mean of the Gaussian distribution
sd	The standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution
baseRNG	The random number generator as the base of the distribution

Member Function Documentation

getMean()

double SST::RNG::GaussianDistribution::getMean ( )

inline

Gets the mean of the distribution.

Returns

The mean of the Guassian distribution

getNextDouble()

double SST::RNG::GaussianDistribution::getNextDouble ( )

inlinevirtual

Gets the next double value in the distribution.

Returns

The next double value of the distribution (in this case a Gaussian distribution)

Implements SST::RNG::RandomDistribution.

getStandardDev()

double SST::RNG::GaussianDistribution::getStandardDev ( )

inline

Gets the standard deviation of the distribution.

Returns

The standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution
