  • Constructor Details

    • DistContinuous

      public DistContinuous(StreamInterface stream)
      constructs a new continuous distribution.
      Parameters:
      stream - the stream

  • Method Details

    • draw

      public abstract double draw()
      draws the next stream value according to the probability of this this distribution.
      Returns:
      the next double value drawn.

    • getProbabilityDensity

      public abstract double getProbabilityDensity(double x)
      returns the probability density value of a value x.
      Parameters:
      x - the value for which the density function needs to be calculated
      Returns:
      the probability density for value x
