Package org.apache.commons.math.random

Class ValueServer

  • public class ValueServer
extends java.lang.Object
    Generates values for use in simulation applications.

    How values are generated is determined by the mode property.

    Supported mode values are:

    • DIGEST_MODE -- uses an empirical distribution
    • REPLAY_MODE -- replays data from valuesFileURL
    • UNIFORM_MODE -- generates uniformly distributed random values with mean = mu
    • EXPONENTIAL_MODE -- generates exponentially distributed random values with mean = mu
    • GAUSSIAN_MODE -- generates Gaussian distributed random values with mean = mu and standard deviation = sigma
    • CONSTANT_MODE -- returns mu every time.
