All Implemented Interfaces:

IDistribution

public class CurvedBoundedDistribution
extends IDistribution.SimpleDistribution
implements IDistribution

An IDistribution that allows a parameter to determine how many calls to IRNG.nextDouble() to make and average whenever a double is requested. When this parameter degree is 1, this is uniform; when it is 2, this is a triangular distribution, and when it is 3 or more it is an increasingly centralized bell curve. The average value is always very close to 0.5, and the bounds are the same as IRNG.nextDouble().

Description copied from interface: IDistribution

Gets a double between IDistribution.getLowerBound() and IDistribution.getUpperBound() that obeys this distribution.

Specified by:

nextDouble in interface IDistribution

Parameters:

rng - an IRNG, such as RNG or GWTRNG, that this will get one or more random numbers from

Returns:

a double within the range of IDistribution.getLowerBound() and IDistribution.getUpperBound()
