Class UniformRandomGenerator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    NormalizedRandomGenerator

    public class UniformRandomGenerator
    extends java.lang.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
