algorithm - Generating numbers which follow Normal Distribution in Java -
i want generate numbers(randomly) such numbers follow normal distribution of given mean , variance. how can achieve this? it better if can give in context of java. 1 might in these answers help: not precise. generate random numbers following normal distribution in c/c++ shamelessly googled , taken from: http://www.javapractices.com/topic/topicaction.do?id=62 the 'magic' happend inside random.nextgaussian() import java.util.random; /** generate pseudo-random floating point values, approximately gaussian (normal) distribution. many physical measurements have approximately gaussian distribution; provides way of simulating such values. */ public final class randomgaussian { public static void main(string... aargs){ randomgaussian gaussian = new randomgaussian(); double mean = 100.0f; double variance = 5.0f; (int idx = 1; idx <= 10; ++idx){ log("generated : " + gaussian.getgaussian(mean, variance)); } } pri...
