Class BurnInRVG

java.lang.Object

dev.nm.stat.random.rng.multivariate.BurnInRVG

All Implemented Interfaces:

RandomVectorGenerator, Seedable

public class BurnInRVG
extends Object
implements RandomVectorGenerator

A burn-in random number generator discards the first M samples. This reduces the effect of the initial sample on the outcome.
