C# Class YAMP.Numerics.NormalDistribution

Provides generation of normal distributed random numbers.

The implementation of the NormalDistribution type bases upon information presented on Wikipedia - Normal distribution and the implementation in the Communication Networks Class Library.

Inheritance: Distribution

Public Methods

Method	Description
IsValidMu ( double value ) : bool	Determines whether the specified value is valid for parameter Mu.
IsValidSigma ( double value ) : bool	Determines whether the specified value is valid for parameter Sigma.
NextDouble ( ) : double	Returns a normal distributed floating point random number.
NormalDistribution ( ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the NormalDistribution class, using a StandardGenerator as underlying random number generator.
NormalDistribution ( Generator generator ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the NormalDistribution class, using the specified Generator as underlying random number generator.
Reset ( ) : bool	Resets the normal distribution, so that it produces the same random number sequence again.

Method	Description
UpdateHelpers ( ) : void	Updates the helper variables that store intermediate results for generation of normal distributed random numbers.
