Class Uniform

java.lang.Object
random.AbstractDistribution
random.Uniform
All Implemented Interfaces:
Distribution, StorableDistribution
public class Uniform extends AbstractDistribution implements Distribution
This is the Uniform distribution.This object offers many methods to obtain random value distributed like a uniform. This is because the Uniform distribution must be also used by external classes as an interface with the real pseudo-random number generator (which return many type of value distributed like a uniform too). (see the constructor description for its pdf definition).

    • Uniform

      public Uniform()
      This is the constructor. It creates a new uniform distribution which is defined from pdf: 
                    1
pdf(x) = -----------
           max-min
      where max and min are two double boundaries for the distribution. max must be greater than min. If x is not between min and max, pdf(x)=0.
