      • nextRandomVariable

        public static double nextRandomVariable(double m,
                                                double s,
                                                RNG source)

        Access the next random variable using the given generator.

        The implementation of this method is based on the Normal generator of Marsaglia and Bray.

        Parameters:
        m - the mean.
        s - the standard deviation.
        source - the source generator.
        Returns:
        the next random variable.
      • nextRandomVariable

        public double nextRandomVariable()
        Access the next random variable from this generator.
        Returns:
        the next random variable.
