The normal (Gaussian) distribution Random Number Generator (RNG) that allows stream numbers to be set deterministically.
This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed normal distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various normal distributions.
The probability density function is:
where the Mean
is given by and the Variance
is
If , are uniform variables over [0,1] then the Gaussian RNG values, and , are calculated as follows:
Note this algorithm consumes two uniform random values and produces two normally distributed values. The implementation used here caches and to generate on the next call.
Since normal distributions can theoretically return unbounded values, it is sometimes useful to specify a fixed bound. The NormalRandomVariable is bounded symmetrically about the mean by the Bound
parameter, , i.e. its values are confined to the interval . This preserves the mean but decreases the variance.
Here is an example of how to use this class:
If an instance of this RNG is configured to return antithetic values, the actual values returned, and , are calculated as follows:
which now involves the distances and are from 1.
ns3::NormalRandomVariable is accessible through the following paths with Config::Set and Config::Connect:
