Trait ndarray_rand::rand::distributions::Distribution[][src]

pub trait Distribution<T> {
    pub fn sample<R>(&self, rng: &mut R) -> T
    where
        R: Rng + ?Sized
; pub fn sample_iter<R>(self, rng: R) -> DistIter<Self, R, T>

Notable traits for DistIter<D, R, T>

impl<D, R, T> Iterator for DistIter<D, R, T> where
    D: Distribution<T>,
    R: Rng
type Item = T;

    where
        R: Rng
, { ... } }

Types (distributions) that can be used to create a random instance of T.

It is possible to sample from a distribution through both the Distribution and Rng traits, via distr.sample(&mut rng) and rng.sample(distr). They also both offer the sample_iter method, which produces an iterator that samples from the distribution.

All implementations are expected to be immutable; this has the significant advantage of not needing to consider thread safety, and for most distributions efficient state-less sampling algorithms are available.

Implementations are typically expected to be portable with reproducible results when used with a PRNG with fixed seed; see the portability chapter of The Rust Rand Book. In some cases this does not apply, e.g. the usize type requires different sampling on 32-bit and 64-bit machines.

Required methods

pub fn sample<R>(&self, rng: &mut R) -> T where
    R: Rng + ?Sized
[src]

Generate a random value of T, using rng as the source of randomness.

Provided methods

pub fn sample_iter<R>(self, rng: R) -> DistIter<Self, R, T>

Notable traits for DistIter<D, R, T>

impl<D, R, T> Iterator for DistIter<D, R, T> where
    D: Distribution<T>,
    R: Rng
type Item = T;
where
    R: Rng
[src]

Create an iterator that generates random values of T, using rng as the source of randomness.

Note that this function takes self by value. This works since Distribution<T> is impl’d for &D where D: Distribution<T>, however borrowing is not automatic hence distr.sample_iter(...) may need to be replaced with (&distr).sample_iter(...) to borrow or (&*distr).sample_iter(...) to reborrow an existing reference.

Example

use rand::thread_rng;
use rand::distributions::{Distribution, Alphanumeric, Uniform, Standard};

let mut rng = thread_rng();

// Vec of 16 x f32:
let v: Vec<f32> = Standard.sample_iter(&mut rng).take(16).collect();

// String:
let s: String = Alphanumeric
    .sample_iter(&mut rng)
    .take(7)
    .map(char::from)
    .collect();

// Dice-rolling:
let die_range = Uniform::new_inclusive(1, 6);
let mut roll_die = die_range.sample_iter(&mut rng);
while roll_die.next().unwrap() != 6 {
    println!("Not a 6; rolling again!");
