Detailed Description

Helper class to generate random numbers based on some kind of discrete distribution.

You'll need to specify the sizes of the bins and the values of the bins, which are a measure of the integrated probability density inside bin.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DiscreteDistribution::DiscreteDistribution	(	std::vector< double > &	binStarts,
		std::vector< double > &	histValues,
		GslRandomNumberGenerator *	pRndGen
	)

Constructor of the class.

Parameters

binStarts	The values of the start of each bin. These must be in ascending order.
histValues	Measures of the integrated probability in each bin
pRndGen	The random number generator to use for randomness when picking numbers according to this distribution.

The value at the start of the last bin should be zero.

double DiscreteDistribution::pickNumber ( ) const
