Variates: non-uniformly distributed values
Continuous distributions
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | Mean |
| -> Double | Standard deviation |
| -> g | |
| -> m Double |
Generate a normally distributed random variate with given mean and standard deviation.
standard :: StatefulGen g m => g -> m Double Source #
Generate a normally distributed random variate with zero mean and unit variance.
The implementation uses Doornik's modified ziggurat algorithm. Compared to the ziggurat algorithm usually used, this is slower, but generates more independent variates that pass stringent tests of randomness.
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | Scale parameter |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Double |
Generate an exponentially distributed random variate.
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | Scale parameter |
| -> (Double, Double) | Range to which distribution is truncated. Values may be negative. |
| -> g | Generator. |
| -> m Double |
Generate truncated exponentially distributed random variate.
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | Shape parameter |
| -> Double | Scale parameter |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Double |
Random variate generator for gamma distribution.
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Int | Number of degrees of freedom |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Double |
Random variate generator for the chi square distribution.
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | alpha (>0) |
| -> Double | beta (>0) |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Double |
Random variate generator for Beta distribution
Discrete distribution
Arguments
| :: (StatefulGen g m, Vector v Double) | |
| => v Double | List of weights [>0] |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Int |
Random variate generator for categorical distribution.
Note that if you need to generate a lot of variates functions System.Random.MWC.CondensedTable will offer better performance. If only few is needed this function will faster since it avoids costs of setting up table.
Arguments
| :: (StatefulGen g m, Vector v Double) | |
| => v Double | List of logarithms of weights |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Int |
Random variate generator for categorical distribution where the
weights are in the log domain. It's implemented in terms of
categorical.
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | p success probability lies in (0,1] |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Int |
Random variate generator for the geometric distribution, computing the number of failures before success. Distribution's support is [0..].
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | p success probability lies in (0,1] |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Int |
Random variate generator for geometric distribution for number of
trials. Distribution's support is [1..] (i.e. just geometric0
shifted by 1).
Arguments
| :: StatefulGen g m | |
| => Double | Probability of success (returning True) |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m Bool |
Random variate generator for Bernoulli distribution
Multivariate
Arguments
| :: (StatefulGen g m, Traversable t) | |
| => t Double | container of parameters |
| -> g | Generator |
| -> m (t Double) |
Random variate generator for Dirichlet distribution
Permutations
uniformPermutation :: forall g m v. (StatefulGen g m, PrimMonad m, Vector v Int) => Int -> g -> m (v Int) Source #
Random variate generator for uniformly distributed permutations. It returns random permutation of vector [0 .. n-1].
This is the Fisher-Yates shuffle
uniformShuffle :: (StatefulGen g m, PrimMonad m, Vector v a) => v a -> g -> m (v a) Source #
Random variate generator for a uniformly distributed shuffle (all shuffles are equiprobable) of a vector. It uses Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm.
uniformShuffleM :: (StatefulGen g m, PrimMonad m, MVector v a) => v (PrimState m) a -> g -> m () Source #
In-place uniformly distributed shuffle (all shuffles are equiprobable)of a vector.
