Detailed Description

Class holding a random generator.

Definition at line 17 of file RandomGeneration.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

stdair::RandomGeneration::RandomGeneration ( const RandomSeed_T iSeed)

Main constructor.

Definition at line 27 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

stdair::RandomGeneration::RandomGeneration ( )

Default constructor.

Note
As per Boost bug #3516 (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3516) the seed should not be set to 0 (at least on versions of Boost lower than 1.44).

Definition at line 23 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

stdair::RandomGeneration::~RandomGeneration ( )

Destructor.

Definition at line 37 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

RealNumber_T stdair::RandomGeneration::generateUniform01 ( )

Generate a randomised number following a uniform distribution between 0 (included) and 1 (excluded).

Definition at line 53 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

References _generator.

Referenced by generateNormal(), generateUniform(), and operator()().

RealNumber_T stdair::RandomGeneration::operator() ( )
inline

Same as generateUniform01(). That operator is provided for convenient reasons.

Definition at line 30 of file RandomGeneration.hpp.

References generateUniform01().

RealNumber_T stdair::RandomGeneration::generateUniform ( const RealNumber_T iMinValue,
const RealNumber_T iMaxValue 
)

Generate a randomized number following a uniform distribution between a minimum (included) and a maximum (excluded) value.

Definition at line 59 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

References generateUniform01().

RealNumber_T stdair::RandomGeneration::generateNormal ( const RealNumber_T mu,
const RealNumber_T sigma 
)

Generate a randomized number following a normal distribution specified by a mean and a standard deviation.

Definition at line 68 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

References generateUniform01().

Referenced by stdair::BookingClass::generateDemandSamples().

RealNumber_T stdair::RandomGeneration::generateExponential ( const RealNumber_T lambda)

Generate a randomized number following an exponential distribution specified by a mean and a lambda parameter.

Definition at line 86 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

References _generator.

BaseGenerator_T& stdair::RandomGeneration::getBaseGenerator ( )
inline

Retrieve the base generator for initialising other random generators.

Definition at line 56 of file RandomGeneration.hpp.

References _generator.

const std::string stdair::RandomGeneration::describe ( ) const
virtual

Give a description of the structure (for display purposes).

Implements stdair::StructAbstract.

Definition at line 46 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

References _generator.

void stdair::RandomGeneration::init ( const RandomSeed_T iSeed)

Initialise the random generator.

A uniform random number distribution is defined, which produces "real" values between 0 and 1 (0 inclusive, 1 exclusive).

Definition at line 41 of file RandomGeneration.cpp.

References _generator.

void stdair::StructAbstract::toStream ( std::ostream &  ioOut) const
inlineinherited

Dump a Business Object into an output stream.

Parameters
ostream&the output stream.

Definition at line 29 of file StructAbstract.hpp.

Member Data Documentation

BaseGenerator_T stdair::RandomGeneration::_generator

Random number generator engine.

The random number generator is currently based on boost::minstd_rand. Alternates are boost::mt19937, boost::ecuyer1988.
