uniform (Discrete)

Generates random numbers uniformly distributed over the interval [a, b).

Description
API

Description

The uniform class object is used in generate functions to provide random numbers uniformly distributed over the interval [a, b), where a, b are the left and right bounds of the interval respectively, and .

The probability distribution is given by:

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

Syntax

namespace oneapi::mkl::rng::device {
  template<typename Type, typename Method>
  class uniform<std::(u)int32_t, Method> {
  public:
    using method_type = Method;
    using result_type = Type;

    uniform(): uniform((Type)0,
                  std::is_same<Method,
                  uniform_method::standard>::value ? (1 << 23) :
                  std::numeric_limits<Type>::max()){};
    explicit uniform(Type a, Type b);
    explicit uniform(const param_type& pt);

    Type a() const;
    Type b() const;
    param_type param() const;
    void param(const param_type& pt);
  };

Template Parameters

typename Method

Generation method. The specific values are as follows:

oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform_method::standard

oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform_method::accurate

See brief descriptions of the methods in Distributions Template Parameter Method.

NOTE:

The oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform_method::standard uses the float type for underlying BRNG calls. This might cause the produced numbers to have incorrect statistics (due to rounding error) when

. To get proper statistics for this case, use the oneapi::mkl::rng::device::uniform_method::accurate method instead.
