Interface DoubleSymmetricGenerator

All Superinterfaces:

DoubleRandomGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:

CauchyGenerator, GaussianGenerator

public interface DoubleSymmetricGenerator
extends DoubleRandomGenerator

This interface introduces additional semantics to DoubleRandomGenerator.

It is intended for random distributions which take two additional parameters, a location and a scale. The statistical interpretation of these parameters is left to implementations.

The nextDouble() method is now assumed to use some default values for these parameters.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description

Method Detail

nextDouble

double nextDouble(double location,
                  double scale)

Returns a random double value arbitrarily distributed in the range [lowerDouble(), upperDouble()], accordingly to the provided parameters.

Parameters:

location - The location of the distribution.

scale - The scale of the distribution

Returns:

A random value.
