Package org.apache.commons.math4.random

Class RngAdaptor

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.math4.random.RngAdaptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, RandomGenerator

@Deprecated
public final class RngAdaptor
extends java.lang.Object
implements RandomGenerator, java.io.Serializable

Deprecated.

As of 4.0. This class is made available for testing the new RNG implementations in existing applications. It will be removed in the next major release.

Adaptor that delegates to a UniformRandomProvider instance.

It is provided for users who wish to test the new RNG implementations the current generators (up to version 3.6 of Commons Math) in codes that require the RandomGenerator interface.

Applications should upgrade to use the new generators ASAP. If problems are found that jeopardize the upgrade, please report them on the project's issue tracking system.

Notes:

• The setSeed(int), setSeed(int[]) and setSeed(long) methods of the RandomGenerator are not part of the new API.
• The new RNG implementations are not Serializable. Use RestorableUniformRandomProvider.saveState() instead.
• nextGaussian() is not part of the new API as it defines a "post-processing" of the output of a uniform RNG in order to follow a different distribution.

Since:

4.0

Constructor Details

RngAdaptor

public RngAdaptor(RandomSource source)

Deprecated.

Creates a new instance.

Parameters:

source - Source of randomness.

RngAdaptor

public RngAdaptor(RandomSource source, java.lang.Object seed)

Deprecated.

Creates a new instance.

Parameters:

source - Source of randomness.

seed - Seed. Can be null.

Method Details

setSeed

public void setSeed(int seed)

Deprecated.

Sets the seed of the underlying random number generator using an int seed.

Sequences of values generated starting with the same seeds should be identical.

Specified by:

setSeed in interface RandomGenerator

Parameters:

seed - the seed value

setSeed

public void setSeed(int[] seed)

Deprecated.

Sets the seed of the underlying random number generator using an int array seed.

Sequences of values generated starting with the same seeds should be identical.

Specified by:

setSeed in interface RandomGenerator

Parameters:

seed - the seed value

setSeed

public void setSeed(long seed)

Deprecated.

Sets the seed of the underlying random number generator using a long seed.

Sequences of values generated starting with the same seeds should be identical.

Specified by:

setSeed in interface RandomGenerator

Parameters:

seed - the seed value

nextBoolean

public boolean nextBoolean()

Deprecated.

Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence.

Specified by:

nextBoolean in interface RandomGenerator

Returns:

the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence

nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] bytes)

Deprecated.

Generates random bytes and places them into a user-supplied byte array. The number of random bytes produced is equal to the length of the byte array.

Specified by:

nextBytes in interface RandomGenerator

Parameters:

bytes - the non-null byte array in which to put the random bytes
