oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform (Continuous)

Generates random numbers with uniform distribution.

Syntax

template<typename Type, typename Method>
class uniform { public:
using method_type = Method;
using result_type = Type;
uniform(): uniform((Type)0.0,
                    (Type)1.0){}
explicit uniform(Type a, Type b);
explicit uniform(const param_type& pt);
Type a() const;
Type b() const;
param_type param() const;
void param(const param_type& pt);
};

Description

The oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::device::generate function to provide random numbers uniformly distributed over the interval [a, b), where a, b are the left and right bounds of the interval, respectively, and a, b∈R ; a < b.

The probability density function is given by:

F_{a, b}(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{b-a}, & x \in [a, b) \\ 1, & x \notin [a, b) \end{cases}, - \infty < x < + \infty

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

F_{a, b}(x) = \begin{cases} 0, & x < a \\ \frac{x-a}{b-a}, & a \leq x < b \\ 1, & x \geq b \end{cases}, -\infty < x < +\infty

Template Parameters

typename Method

Generation method. The specific values are as follows: oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform_method::standard oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform_method::standard_accurate
