Types

type DiscreteDist

type DiscreteDist struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

DiscreteDist is a finite discrete distribution.

func NewUniform

func NewUniform(r *mrand.Rand, minValue, maxValue, maxN int, biased bool) *DiscreteDist

NewUniform creates a new uniform discrete distribution, optionally with biased probabilities.

func (*DiscreteDist) Sample

func (d *DiscreteDist) Sample(r *mrand.Rand) int

Sample generates a random value according to the distribution with the provided entropy source.

func (*DiscreteDist) String

func (d *DiscreteDist) String() string

String returns a the probability distribution as a string, with entries p < 0.01 omitted for brevity.
