Detailed Description

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:

\[
     P(x; \mu, \sigma) dx = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}
         e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}} dx, \\
         \quad x \in (-\infty, +\infty)
  \]

where the Mean is given by $\mu$ and the Variance is $\sigma^2$

If $u_1$, $u_2$ are uniform variables over [0,1] then the Gaussian RNG values, $x_1$ and $x_2$, are calculated as follows:

\begin{eqnarray*}
     v_1 & = & 2 u_1 - 1     \\
     v_2 & = & 2 u_2 - 1     \\
     r^2 & = & v_1^2 + v_2^2     \\
     y & = & \sqrt{\frac{-2 \log(r^2)}{r^2}}     \\
     x_1 & = & \mu + v_1 y \sqrt{\sigma^2}     \\
     x_2 & = & \mu + v_2 y \sqrt{\sigma^2}  .
  \end{eqnarray*}

Note this algorithm consumes two uniform random values and produces two normally distributed values. The implementation used here caches $y$ and $v_2$ to generate $x_2$ on the next call.

Bounded Distribution

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, $b$, i.e. its values are confined to the interval $[\mu - b, \mu + b]$. This preserves the mean but decreases the variance.

Example

Here is an example of how to use this class:

double mean = 5.0;
double variance = 2.0;
x->SetAttribute ("Mean", DoubleValue (mean));
x->SetAttribute ("Variance", DoubleValue (variance));
// The expected value for the mean of the values returned by a
// normally distributed random variable is equal to mean.
double value = x->GetValue ();
This class can be used to hold variables of floating point type such as 'double' or 'float'.
Definition double.h:31
Smart pointer class similar to boost::intrusive_ptr.
Ptr< T > CreateObject(Args &&... args)
Create an object by type, with varying number of constructor parameters.
Definition object.h:619
Antithetic Values.

If an instance of this RNG is configured to return antithetic values, the actual values returned, $x_1^{\prime}$ and $x_2^{\prime}$, are calculated as follows:

\begin{eqnarray*}
     v_1^{\prime} & = & 2 (1 - u_1) - 1     \\
     v_2^{\prime} & = & 2 (1 - u_2) - 1     \\
     r^{\prime 2} & = & v_1^{\prime 2}  + v_2^{\prime 2}     \\
     y^{\prime} & = & \sqrt{\frac{-2 \log(r^{\prime 2})}{r^{\prime 2}}}     \\
     x_1^{\prime} & = & \mu + v_1^{\prime} y^{\prime} \sqrt{\sigma^2}     \\
     x_2^{\prime} & = & \mu + v_2^{\prime} y^{\prime} \sqrt{\sigma^2}  ,
  \end{eqnarray*}

which now involves the distances $u_1$ and $u_2$ are from 1.
