    • Constructor Detail

      • BernoulliTrial

        public BernoulliTrial​(RandomNumberGenerator rng,
                              double p)
        Creates a new instance that uses the given RandomNumberGenerator to do the trial.
        Parameters:
        rng - the random number generator that is to be used
        p - the success probability
    • Method Detail

      • nextTrial

        public static boolean nextTrial​(RandomNumberGenerator rng,
                                        double p)
        Performs a Bernoulli trial that succeeds with probability p.
        Parameters:
        rng - a random number generator
        p - a success probability
        Returns:
        true if the trial succeeded
      • nextTrial

        public boolean nextTrial()
        Performs a Bernoulli trial that succeeds with probability p.
        Returns:
        true if the trial succeeded
      • nextLogTrial

        public static boolean nextLogTrial​(RandomNumberGenerator rng,
                                           double p)
        Performs a Bernoulli trial that succeeds with probability ep.
        Parameters:
        rng - a random number generator
        p - the log of a success probability
        Returns:
        true if the trial succeeded
      • nextLogTrial

        public boolean nextLogTrial()
        Performs a Bernoulli trial that succeeds with probability ep.
        Returns:
        true if the trial succeeded
      • nextDouble

        public double nextDouble()
        Get the next random double, which is either 1 (success) or 0 (failure).
        Specified by:
        nextDouble in interface RandomNumberGenerator
        Returns:
        the next random outcome (1 or 0)
      • seed

        Description copied from interface: Seedable
        Seed the random number/vector/scenario generator to produce repeatable experiments.
        Specified by:
        seed in interface Seedable
        Parameters:
        seeds - the seeds
