Class Gaussian

Namespace

Assembly

NominalSystems.Maths.dll

[NominalSystems] This class handles Gaussian functionality in which a "bell curve" shape is produced when graphed. It also handles normal distribution where 68-95-99.7% of values occur within 1, 2, 3 standard deviation of the mean.

Methods

GetProbabilityDensityFunction(double)

[-] Returns the relative likelihood of the value being chosen. This uses the general Probability Density Function (PDF).

public double GetProbabilityDensityFunction(double value)

Parameters

value double

The value input

Returns

double

The relative likelihood of the value being chosen

GetUnnormalisedValue(double)

[-] Returns the height of the curve at the input value.

public double GetUnnormalisedValue(double value)

Parameters

value double

The value input

Returns

double

NextDouble()

[-] Calculate the next random value within the normal distribution using the Marsaglia polar method.

public double NextDouble()

Returns

double

SetSeed(long)

Set random generator seed

public void SetSeed(long seed)

Parameters

seed long

the seed
