Constructor Detail

Uniform

public Uniform()
Default constructor. The lower bound is set to 0 and the upper bound is set to 1.


Uniform

public Uniform(double a,
               double b)
Create a distribution with the given lower bound and upper bound values.

Parameters:
a - the lower bound parameter.
b - the upper bound parameter.
Method Detail

cumulativeProbability

public double cumulativeProbability(double x)
The CDF for this distribution. This method returns P(X < x).

Specified by:
cumulativeProbability in class ContinuousDistribution
Parameters:
x - the value at which the CDF is evaluated.
Returns:
CDF for this distribution.

getLower

public double getLower()
Access the lower parameter.

Returns:
the lower parameter.

getUpper

public double getUpper()
Access the upper parameter.

Returns:
the upper parameter.

inverseCumulativeProbability

public double inverseCumulativeProbability(double p)
The inverse CDF for this distribution. This method returns x such that, P(X < x) = p.

Specified by:
inverseCumulativeProbability in class ContinuousDistribution
Parameters:
p - the cumulative probability.
Returns:
x

setLower

public void setLower(double low)
Modify the lower bound parameter.

Parameters:
low - the new lower bound value.

setUpper

public void setUpper(double up)
Modify the upper bound parameter.

Parameters:
up - the new upper bound value.
