API for probabilities.random-numbers - clojure-contrib v1.2 (stable)

by Konrad Hinsen

Full namespace name: clojure.contrib.probabilities.random-numbers

Overview

Random number streams

This library provides random number generators with a common
stream interface. They all produce pseudo-random numbers that are
uniformly distributed in the interval [0, 1), i.e. 0 is a
possible value but 1 isn't. For transformations to other
distributions, see clojure.contrib.probabilities.monte-carlo.

At the moment, the only generator provided is a rather simple
linear congruential generator.

Public Variables and Functions



lcg

function
Usage: (lcg modulus multiplier increment seed)
Create a linear congruential generator

rand-stream

var

  
A random number stream based on clojure.core/rand. Note that this
generator uses an internal mutable state. The state is thus not stored
in the stream object and cannot be restored.
