random-mtzig

The random-mtzig library is a Chicken Scheme wrapper for the MT19937 random number generator used in GNU Octave (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/).

Procedures

init :: [SEED] -> STATE

Creates an initial seed array and returns the corresponding generator state vector. If the optional SEED is not specified, the generator is initialized with a seed from /dev/urandom or with the current time in seconds. If SEED can be an integer or an u32vector.

random! :: STATE -> INTEGER

Returns a random integer value between 0 and the largest machine-representable unsigned integer on the current platform.

randu! :: STATE -> NUMBER

Returns a random value from a uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1).

randn! :: STATE -> NUMBER

Returns a random value from a normal (Gaussian) distribution, using Marsaglia and Tsang's Ziggurat algorithm to transform a uniform distribution into a normal one.

rande! :: STATE -> NUMBER

Returns a random value from an exponential distribution, using Marsaglia and Tsang's Ziggurat algorithm to transform a uniform distribution into an exponential one.

randb! :: N * P * STATE -> NUMBER

Returns a random value from a binomial distribution with N experiments and probability P.

randp! :: L * STATE -> NUMBER

Returns a random value from a Poisson distribution with mean value L.

randu/f64! :: N * STATE -> F64VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f64 vector of random values from a uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1).

randn/f64! :: N * STATE -> F64VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f64 vector of random values from a normal (Gaussian) distribution, using Marsaglia and Tsang's Ziggurat algorithm to transform a uniform distribution into a normal one.

rande/f64! :: N * STATE -> F64VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f64 vector of random values from am exponential distribution, using Marsaglia and Tsang's Ziggurat algorithm to transform a uniform distribution into an exponential one.

randb/f64! :: N * P * XN * STATE -> F64VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f64 vector of random values from a binomial distribution with N experiments and probability P.

f64vector-randp! :: L * XN * STATE -> F64VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f64 vector of random values from a Poisson distribution with mean value L.

randu/f32! :: N * STATE -> F32VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f32 vector of random values from a uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1).

randn/f32! :: N * STATE -> F32VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f32 vector of random values from a normal (Gaussian) distribution, using Marsaglia and Tsang's Ziggurat algorithm to transform a uniform distribution into a normal one.

rande/f32! :: N * STATE -> F32VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f32 vector of random values from am exponential distribution, using Marsaglia and Tsang's Ziggurat algorithm to transform a uniform distribution into an exponential one.

randb/f32! :: N * P * XN * STATE -> F32VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f32 vector of random values from a binomial distribution with N experiments and probability P.

randb/f32! :: L * XN * STATE -> F32VECTOR

Returns an SRFI-4 f32 vector of random values from a Poisson distribution with mean value L.

Examples

 (import random-mtzig)
 (define st (init 24))
 (randu/f64! 20 st)
