int32_t DUNE::Math::Random::Generator::arbitrarySeed ( void  )
static

Generate an arbitrary seed value.

The kernel RNG facility '/dev/urandom' will be used for that purpose, if available.

Returns
generated seed value.

double DUNE::Math::Random::Generator::gaussian ( double  mu,
double  sigma 
)
inline

Generate number with a Gaussian distribution, for a given mean and standard deviation.

Parameters
mumean of distribution.
sigmastd. dev. of distribution.
Returns
number with gaussian distribution (mu,sigma).

pure virtual
virtual void DUNE::Math::Random::Generator::seed ( int32_t  value)
pure virtual

Re-initialize generator with given seed.

Parameters
valuevalue for seed.

Implemented in DUNE::Math::Random::KernelDevice, DUNE::Math::Random::MT19937, DUNE::Math::Random::DRand48, DUNE::Math::Random::TSGenerator< G >, and DUNE::Math::Random::FSR256.

double DUNE::Math::Random::Generator::uniform ( void  )
virtual

Generate double-precision floating point number with uniform distribution in [0,1].

Default implementation returns value of random()/c_max_random.

Reimplemented in DUNE::Math::Random::KernelDevice, DUNE::Math::Random::TSGenerator< G >, and DUNE::Math::Random::MT19937.

double DUNE::Math::Random::Generator::uniform ( double  a,
double  b 
)
inline

Generate number with uniform distribution in a given interval.

Parameters
avalue of a.
bvalue of b.
Returns
number with uniform distribution in [a,b].
