Distribution

Distribution

This module provides some light-weight random number functionality.

reseed!(rng::AbstractRNG, seed::Union{Int, Nothing})

Reset the RNG seed if the seed argument is a number.

Input

• rng – random number generator
• seed – seed for reseeding, or nothing

Output

The input RNG if the seed is nothing, and a reseeded RNG otherwise.

Notes

This is a convenience function to be called unconditionally. The motivation is to simplify library code, with seed as user input.

DefaultUniform{N}

Represents a uniform distribution over an interval $[a, b]$.

Fields

• a – lower bound
• b – upper bound
