UniformRandomGenerator (Apache Commons Math 3.6.1 API)

org.apache.commons.math3.random

## Class UniformRandomGenerator

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.random.UniformRandomGenerator

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    NormalizedRandomGenerator

      public class UniformRandomGenerator
      extends Object
      implements NormalizedRandomGenerator

  This class implements a normalized uniform random generator.

  Since it is a normalized random generator, it generates values from a uniform distribution with mean equal to 0 and standard deviation equal to 1. Generated values fall in the range [-√3, +√3].

  Since:
    1.2

    - #### UniformRandomGenerator

          public UniformRandomGenerator(RandomGenerator generator)

      Create a new generator.
      Parameters:
        `generator` - underlying random generator to use

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### nextNormalizedDouble

          public double nextNormalizedDouble()

      Generate a random scalar with null mean and unit standard deviation.

      The number generated is uniformly distributed between -&sqrt;(3) and +&sqrt;(3).

      Specified by:
        `nextNormalizedDouble` in interface `NormalizedRandomGenerator`
      Returns:
        a random scalar with null mean and unit standard deviation
